More than likely that's a 440 , for sure that is a 440 manifold and exhaust pipe , the dead giveaway is the two extra head studs , those two extra head studs were only used on older model 440's with Aluminum cylinders.
Aluminum cylinder ? , if it is it's defiantly a 440 , I don't know of any 550's that ever had the additional head studs , if you look at a 550 head the place for the hole is there but it's not drilled out .
We used to take the Aluminum 440 cylinders , press the sleeves out then bore the cylinder to accept new 550 sleeves , you had to drill out the two extra holes in the 550 head for the extra head studs , my first 550 was that way till I got the 550 reed motor put in it .
