how much is too much, or not enough

I've been looking through most of the forums that concern themselves with the 230cu. flathead 6 from mopar.   I have a '58 Plymouth 230L6 in my '40 P12 Special deluxe, that I have heard is a good candidate for adding power.  I've heard about line boring, cutting the deck and head for more compression, adding headers and a new cam, boring either .030 to .060 over.  There are so many views

on the proper fuel delivery , single one barrel, dual one barrels,  triple one bbls. or 1 2bbl or 2 2bbls or maybe 3 ( which seems to be for only the 25" heads).  I realize that some are using multiple carbs

just for ( eye candy ). I want a car with enough to get me up a hill and on the freeway, and go freeway speeds.  It will not be a show car, but it will look presentable at the local car show, and maybe turn some heads.  I want to be able to drive it long distances if needed.  I am thinking putting in a 8 3/4 rear end with 3.55 or 3.73 posi,  I want it safe and reliable. Maybe a T5 tranny or an a518 overdrive.

Just a nice car.  Discs up front.    That's enough rambling for know,  any suggestions for getting me where I want go would be appreciated.    Thanks
