Oops....I thought he said '55...........'56s were a lot different to me...

Another friend had one of those.......265 powerpack....P/G......Those cars were dogs.......The trans killed it.......It was almost always in the wrong gear since all you had were 2 speeds.....and a very tight converter......

I had a '55 Chev for a while.....Put an engine I had laying around in it......a '58 Pontiac engine.......with the hydramatic.......project went down hill when I discovered the block was cracked.....froze up from leaving it sit a long time and there was water still in the block.....2nd time that happened to an engine I had......I try not to let that happen after those 2 events.....LOL
