Getting ready to start...I hope

Plans for now, not too sure. I like the idea of the original motor but need to figure out what is in it (265 or 283). For a transmission I would like to put in a 700R4 or something that has overdrive. Needs new rear springs one of them is cracked, looking into front disc brakes. I want power steering just not sure how to go about it and what to use. I like to read so that will come in handy looking at all the threads here. Not sure about dropping the front end, I might just redo the front suspension stock with whatever is worn out and see what comes down the road. I am planning on A/C after seeing what my uncle did to his 55 but that may be years down the road. I am not sure exactly which model the car is, yes that's sad but true. Motor is original and needed valve stem seals (or guides) before parking her. I have some stuff done, but not much. As you can see there is plenty of dust, courtesy of the walnut trees and walnut orchard on the bordering property. Thanks for looking and appreciate all the support.
