With those 6cyl engines a good old fashioned way of doing things. Drain the old oil out. Change the filter next. Then fill the engine right to the tippy top with freash motor oil and let things soak a couple of days. Next step is to drain that fresh oil down to the correct dip stick level and save it for your next oil change. What this procedure does is every single moving surface will get a total oil soak. Just before you are ready to try the engine pull all of the plugs out. Then fill the radiator to the top with plain water. Just be VERY conscious of the out door temperature. Nothing to freeze. If the engine is free then you can check for compression to see if any valves are stuck open. Also watch for any water blowing out. Blown head gasket. Then before you screw the plugs back in see if you get spark. Maybe clean the points. Last step is squirt a tiny bit of gas down the carberator. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN EXTINGUISHER HANDY. Turn the key and cross your fingers. If she runs let her warm up good. See if all of the gauges work. Hopefully the clutch isn't stuck. Now the rest is up to you and your wallet. DON'T forget to drain out the plain water and refill with 50/50 mix. That plain water is not messy, blowing antifreeze all over kinda stinks.
