Carb cleaning /rebuild, new gas, tune-up and valve adjustment and you should be good to go.
Guys like you make me want to keep the big V6. But I have a 355, a cam, nice intake, Carter 600. And a th350. They would be such a fun pair in here. Ibut the V6 has a ton of retro cool factor. I don't know what to do.
