I have almost the exact same car. My Dad bought it in the late 70's and has had it ever since. It started life Grotto Blue, and was painted a blue that closely matches the interior. I'm going to paint it back to grotto blue. It also had an Inline 6 but at some point in the late 80's my brother swapped in a 350. I finally got the V8 running well after many seasons. Plus he didn't keep the original 6. I'd leave that original 6 in it, and at the very least stash it away in storage if you decide to swap it out.
Looks awesome! I say keep the 6 for now and enjoy the car
