PBBlaaster is better in the cylinders than WD40. If it has been sitting for 10 years there is a good possibility that it will have a seized ring or two. Won't keep it from running, but will eventually damage the cylinder wall and cause it to burn oil.
If you want to keep it running well for a long time, you should pull the motor and do a full rebuild on it, replacing parts as needed. All the bearing surfaces are going to be dry, the lifters are most likely gummed up, there is probably rust on the cylinder walls, might be blocked coolant or oil passages. Same thing with the transmission. Should have the valve body cleaned and will probably need new clutch packs.
Or, you can just fire it up and hope for the best. Might get a few years use out of it before serious problems develop.
