Default 351 V6 powering a small sawmill

Came across this on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Rdy63NWeQE

They say its a 1966 351c V6.

Uses a little oil under load (guessing it has bad rings) but runs like a champ!
Edit: the smoke is from the burn barrels, not the engine.

Enjoy!

Great video and the link in the comments gives a tour to the sawmill and how it works with the V6/SM420. I can smell the sawdust!

Now here is a great testimonial on the durability and reliability of the GMC Big Block V-6 engine(s). Darn shame that GM quit building those engines!!
