I wouldn't be afraid of the engine with 22k or 122k. I've had one of these engines in an 89 vic with 366k on it. 250k of that was delivering mail so it idled a LOT too.
I sold that car to some kid who proceeded to flog the crap out of it for the next year, at least. It finally ended up in a police impound lot when he was arrested while trying to run from the cops in it one night.
Pro-tip. If you ever sell a car to anyone that needs exhaust, make sure it's not someone who lives up the street and is likely to do multiple full throttle passes by your house every night. Especially when your bedroom window is less than 50 ft from the street. Within a week of selling it, I'd have gladly bought it back just to keep him from waking my wife up.
