Jerry - the 265 was the 'standard' V8 thru [most of] 57, w/ the 283 being an option that was the standard 'big truck' V8 for 57 - 265 was dropped after 57
I'd keep a 235 too, if I had an extra, if only for a spare [have both myself in my current 2 trucks] - for the one 'in progress' I might put a 235 if I had a good one handy, but will rebuild a 283, which I have lots of
