Help confirm this Chevy Six banger engine

[bubbasimms]

I am currently searching for the ever elusive six cylinder power steering brackets for my 250. I found a set that the guy says are from a '74-'75ish Nova. He has the complete set of brackets including the A/C. He says he has all the pulleys also. He sent me this picture of the engine everything is coming from. I would like to confirm that this isn't an integrated head motor and that this is in fact what I'm looking for. In the picture you can see the front bolt and clamp for the intake/exhaust and it looks like the top of the exhaust is separate. The blue valve cover is concerning me.It is a long drive and I would like some opinions before I make the trip. What's the general consensus?

Thanks grumpy....I've looked at that thread but nothing's conclusive. Am I correct in that not all integrated head motors have that weird valve cover? I've also looked at posts showing just the heads and I'm pretty sure that the integrated head has the first part of the exhaust cast into the head and the exhaust bolts on from the bottom side and therefore would not have the bolt and clamp as shown in the picture. Pretty sure the one I'm looking at is non integrated head, just hoping an expert will confirm before I drive 4 hours each way for parts.

Heres another link with better pictures of the intake/exhaust manifold that is integrated into the head casting.

Yes that’s a non integrated had.
And the truck has power steering. You can see the top of the steering box has the fittings for hoses.
Only thing you don’t know is whether it’s a 250 or 292. IIRC Brackets are slightly different on the 292.
You’d need a pic of the passenger side lifter covers or fuel pump location to determine which.

Thanks Geezer, that's exactly what I though, just wanting some other opinions. It's a long drive to be wrong.

That is a non intregal head & a 250 engine. Be sure you get the 2 groove harmonic balancer & water pump pulley & alt. pulley.
