Whichever, he needs to be sure before looking for a crankshaft because the Master Parts Catalog says the 1955 engine uses crankshaft part number 518047 and the 1956 engine uses part number 521602.

No, I don't know the difference.
Neither do I...but as long as it's 3.250....we'll make it work. We have to make spacers anyway.
