For the roads and driving habits of the day the 6 did just fine, adequate power but not much more, and exercising reasonable care they are still very driveable today but that said, you can't drive it like a new BMW.

NOS or reproduction engine parts cover just about every conceivable need except for basic castings like cylinder heads and the like. Most mechanical parts plentiful new or repro or used, body and trim parts less so.

To pre-oil, just disconnect the coil and crank on the starter motor until the oil pressure gauge shows movement.
