Is the 55 a two door? It should get the 460 and the truck the small block! I will have to take some good pictures and post them. My Uncle in Prebel, New York has a 55 two door with a Holman & moody prepped 406, 4 speed in it. Been in the barn since the late 70's. I have been telling him I want that car!

Mine is a fordor ! The 2 doors are really geting hard to find around here . Not many of us 55 Ford around here either . Haven't seen one around my area for a long time ! I just like a fordor better for a cruiser than something I would race . I have had 2 & 4 doors all my life . The 4 doors do come in handy with me due to a bad back . Can't do that crawling in the back seat like I use too ! I thought about putting the 460 in the 55 Ford but with the way gas cost I need something a little cheaper and I need to stay out of trouble .
On the other hand the 37 Plymouth p/u is a heck of a lot lighter too . So that 460 fill do very well in that light p/u ! I was going to put a very well built "Y Block" w/3x2 intake in the truck but when I got to trade some things I am not using for the 460 , well....just couldn't turn it down . I like to match engines with the makes of the cars/trucks BUT just couldn't turn down a running 460 w/C-6 . I wanted a 440 but the 460 will take the place very well !
As fot that Great Barn find , you need to get him to get that "Treasure" out and get it running again . That is something that needs to be out for everyone to see and enjoy as well ! Well I really hope you can get that car one day .
