SS or FG options for mid 80's univega?

I've got a circa 1986 Univega Gran Turismo in my basement that I'd like to convert to either a Ss or FG ride. The bike has a 6 spd freewheel on it (rear dropout spacing is 126mm). What are my options since I don't have a cassette hub on the rear wheel? The wheels are really nice on this bike, 42 spokes and very strong, so if possible, I'd really llke to use the rear wheel. Should I hunt around for a cassette hub that can accommodate 42 spokes? thanks!
