Exclamation 4.6l life span

I just bought a 1997 f150 4x4 has a 4.6 liter with 268,000 miles. There is some rust but other than that its runs just fine. The oil was changed every 3,000 miles and just had a tune up. I paid 1,000 for it. Can I expect another 50,000 miles on it? Or should I sell as soon as possible?
