Default what should i do ???

so i got a 92 lx vert ....153,000...whats kind of mods do thing 5.0 can handle with that many miles?...
...the guy i bought it from didnt do much just flowmasters and a cold air...
...but it didnt look like he changed the oil ,filled the brake fluid(so the light goes off), or worried about the whole in his overflow resevoir (blowing out all the antifreeze on my drive home!)............
.......but it is strong,...timing is perfect ,has a lil shake ,just a lil miss ..gotta give it a tune up whne some off this snow melts in denver!....who else is in denver?

let me know what u think

That's just getting broken in. Put a wet kit on it and spray it down.
