Would you run this motor if it was yours?

Giving a update: got the truck home this weekend put about 150 miles on it so far, oil pressure is steady 40 psi cruising- it was getting (on the dash) 20.8 mpg on the eway doing 72 mph - city is about 17
Not to bad - going to change oil again Tuesday to keep flushing it. I have two quarts of trans fluid in it.

Have you pulled the valve covers off to see if there is any buildup/sludge? this will give you an idea of how the previous owner took care of it.
On mine, with 154k, the top of the head is clean enough for you to eat off of (minus the oil of course). I change the oil in the truck about every 3500-4k, religiously.
