IL6 questions/advice - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the following motor in my truck, but I don't quite understand what it really is. The code says it's a 250, but I've read things about "integrated head" vs "non-integrated head". Based on the pics below, can someone tell me what this engine looks like it has and what it would take to make it less messy (meaning spaghetti everywhere)? What can I get rid of and what do I have to keep? I'd like to make it look cleaner under the hood and plan on cleaning it all up, painting, and adding some chrome pieces here and there. The problem is, I just don't know what I need and don't need on it. I'll be upgrading it and swapping it out in the future, but my budget just doesn't have it in the next couple of years.

Any advice?
