If it was me,

I would use the original 55 trans,

The 59 engine will bolt right to it, the 55 flywheel bolts right on.
you won't have to change the shift linkage, crossmember and mounts, driveshaft

It will make a much easier job

Also you will need a 57-58 left exhaust manifold to clear the steering box. (Larger exhaust ports to match 59 engine)

Good Luck
