1970 C20, SB, stock everything

I am about to pull my engine and trans. I will be delivering the engine to the machine shop over the winter, but am curious (engine newbie), what are some of the components on an engine that I should look at upgrading or swapping out?

This is going to be a dd, so I am not super concerned with huge HP, just a low maintenance solid engine that can cruise at 75, but also be ready to two a trailer if needed.

I know this is a broad question, but I am excited to learn and hear from you guys. Again, thank you for your input.

Mahalo!
