To expand on what techinspector states above, do ditch it and don't use it for any sort of performance build. If you want a 'numbers matching' car or one that has everything as it came from the factory with in 1955, this would be OK - however:
The 1955 265 does not have any provision for an oil filter on it.
Unfiltered oil + performance = bad moon rising.
EDIT - this is a SERIOUS necro post. 9 years old!
