Used engine

I am looking for a used engine for my truck (300I6) and I was wondering what the compression should be.

I found a used engine the other day and the comp is 135 - 150 and the oil psi is 15 - 40. My question is if these numbers sound good.

Numbers sound ok, are all the holes about the same or some 135 some 150?

Those numbers sound good. As long as no cylinder is more than 10% above or below any other cylinder, you're in good shape. That oil pressure sounds all right too; rule of thumb is 10 pounds for every 1000 rpms.
