Welcome to FTE.

Can you show that it runs?

$200 or less if not running. It's a core.

$400 or so running. 1981 not the peak year of the 302.

I would say that is about right for the price.
Not knowing the mileage hurts as a 302 Mustang motor with 100,000 might (in my book) need a rebuild but a 50,000 may not.
Also the only thing edelbrock is the carb and maybe the intake the rest looks like your run of the mill 302.
