A 55 is probably a slightly smaller hemi, maybe a 331 cid. My old man's dream is the find one of those motors, do a valve replacement and a port and polish on the heads, rebuild it with about 10:1 compression, plant an Isky 505 cam in the valley, mount six Stromberg 97 carbs on a log manifold atop the engine, back it with a four-speed manual trans and put it in a 32 Ford roadster. Might sell my Chevy one of these days and do just that. On Sep 17, 2006, at 7:26 PM, Shel Belinkoff wrote:
