The long BBChevy water pump will fit over the OEM timing cover. All the OEM intakes are small carb bolt pattern. If you open up the bore holes an Edelbrock/Carter will fit right on. To use a Holley you'll have to buy an adaptor or redrill the intake.

It sounds like your engine is a 1954, not a 55. Do you have the stamped numbers off the block, in front of the valley cover?
Early hemi to late sb Mopar trans adapters. Precision billet parts for early hemis.
