Those motors were likely factory spec'd to run 10-30 oil. Not what you're running in it now.
If it isn't smoking...……..valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, rear crankshaft seal, or front seal. If it were actually burning that much oil, you'd be throwing codes. Most likely mess up the O2 sensor.
My 1994 F-150, 300cid is sitting at 265,000 miles, and still runs fine. Only thing is a leak from the side gasket which covers the pushrods. Pretty common on the 300's.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
