Its OK but not for a smog car by any means. Wouldn't be a cruiser either with the cam an idle.

As long as you are pre 75 you should be fine.

That cam has hardly any lift for such duration. I can't see spending that much on an engine that is just shoved over in the corner of someones garage. If I have an extra built engine at my house you can bet your *** its on a stand or cradle. Seems like someone might want to make a big profit off something that really isn't all that special. Just look at the condition of the valve covers all pealed where they were painted, not signs to me that show someone takes car of things

I agree. That thing is tossed in the corner like its junk. His story doesnt make much sense either. Usually someone will sell their powertrain or the car. This guy is selling them both but alreadey separated them? Buyer beware.
