Them old "Y" block 272,292 and 312's were not bad motors, just oiling problems to the rockers,-- in their day, most all of them you saw, had a top oilier kit installed.( exterior oil line to the rocker cover bolt)
Prolly with todays good detergent oils they would be ok, and not needed.
Got under the hood of a lot of them as a kid in High school pumping gas for spending money.
