Well...I know the 1955 235 had the side mount provisions (3 threaded holes on the side of the block). And I know there used to be lots of kits...scads of them. Some of them didn't use the bird legs but a shorter version of them. Somebody had installed one of these in my truck at some point before I got it and instead of bolting it on he/she welded it. It would work with either a V8 small block or the 235 with side mounts. I ended up sawing it off and going with the front mount, however. Good luck.
