Sparky --

I've done a little research to no avail, but I believe those two casting are quite different.  I'm no Hemi expert (only got one), but the I believe the '55 has quite a different port configuration.

(So no help here.)

That shows how much I know -- I thought they were the small port early heads.

Stan,

Small port early heads were 51-53 extended bell-housing motors.

Sparky,

The 1955 # 1556157-1 are known as the triple nickle heads and they are the heads everyone wants so they command big bucks.

That was the hot ticket in 1962, 354 heads with 392 valves.

Did you try Albert Eshenbaugh, I know he runs early Hemi motors, and he has been known to wound them once in a while!

Sparky, I sold a whole crate of hemi stuff quite a few years ago to a guy who owns Willys Replacement Parts. He is some where in CA. If you want I can probably get you a name and number.
