Your engine is a Y block, that was the standard V8 option in that year. It could be a 272 or 292, hard telling what they put in it. It has a modified exhaust system using an upside down left side exhaust manifold with a wrap around pipe to make dual exhaust, not the best method 
IMO.
Don't recognize the part the lever is attached to. looks like something between the bell housing and trans??

( driver side ) exhaust manifold is stock, ( not modified ). Or in what way would the exhaust have been modified, because it does have duals?? From the little bit of reasearch i have done, it appears to have the Cleveland foundry cast back near the distributor, which is the F surrounded by a semicircle. That cast is also on the left side exhaust manifold. Since it came from the Cleveland foundry I believe that's either a 292 or a 312, ( more than likely a 292 ). Have not been down near the oil filter yet to check the casting. Again, just curious how the exhaust would have been modified. Great forum here!! I appreciate all the replies.

Thanks Walston for the pics. and the reply. Again, according to the VIN it has a "J" for the fourth digit so this truck i believe originally came with a inline 6. Just trying to figure out the year and other info on this engine. It does have a 2bbl Holley carb which i believe came stock. The numbers on the plate read " C2TE-9510-R " List- 2489
I would like to see if i can still get a rebuild kit for this carb.
Thanks everyone for your help.......Jason
I believe I just found a rebuild kit for the carb at NAPA for less than $40 bucks.

If I can read the casting on the side of the block above the oil filter, would that code give me a date or any other info? Im just trying to also get some specs. on the motor like h.p. and torque numbers.
