Probably will be a while. When I do put the cam in I'm going to completely rebuild the motor because of the amount of miles on it

How many miles? You might get away with just a slight refresh instead of a complete rebuild.

Miles? Pfft. 200K on mine and been beating on it since 146K. Cammed it, raised the compression and am now beating on it harder. There's only one way to find its limits...

OH, NO!!! It's RUUUUUUUST!!! MUST KILL IT!!!
...It's also unnecessary threads:
Let the engine idle while I hit it with a flap disc (also radiused the edge just cuz):
Then a wire wheel to clean up the rest of it:
Then some black paint:
With engine stopped. It'll look better once the paint dries and loses the gloss and it gets as dirty as the other pulleys:

I see a tiny bit of rust on the end of the P/S Pump shaft. Shame.

I saw that afterward as well. I'll reassess after the water pump pulley dulls down. If it still stands out, then I'll clean and paint all of 'em.

My only question is the thread you smoothed out. Why are there threads there if there’s no use for them

Away!

They were for the fan clutch which stopped being a thing in 04.
Still a "thing" on mine!

Yup, 04. You should change it!
