Default Engine life

This might sound like a dump questions but does anyone know what is the lifespan of a 305e v6 engine?
My truck has about 289,000 on the odometer and the truck runs fine it does smoke a little out of the right side blue smoke! I got this truck as a gift from my grandfather in-law when he got the tuck it had about 117,000 on the oddometer he mainly used it to haul food for our local church once a week for about 12 years and now it was given to me. I have plans to get it painted and have replaced the carpet, seat cover, door panels gauges, steering wheel, rear bumper and have done a complete tune up. My main concern is the high mileage on the motor parts are hard to find and expensive my machine shop quoted me 4k for a rebuild a bit to steep for my budget.
