thanks for all the info...looks like 2806030 273.. I assume it is a 273, building this car for my wife, don't know much about these engines?. is it worth building for a mild/little more than mild street car?,she also wants a 4 speed..looks like a 7.25 rear end, guessing that probably has to go.

carter carb?

Looks like carter carb. You can build up that motor a bit, some here may disagree and say put in a 340 or 360, but you can get more performance out of it. Regarding the rear end, it depends how much you are going to abuse it, and with a manual trans and higher horse power, might not be a bad idea to go with something bigger.

What car do you have with all this?

That looks like a fun project! If I had something like that I would go big block and 8-3/4 rear end, but big block requires some changes to the k-frame and/or engine mounts. Also, if this is an auto car and converting to manual, there may be some changes to the trans tunnel for the manual trans conversion.
