I think it was a powerglide-only option until '58 when Chevy did another engineering revision to the 235. You have to change the cam and lifters to a mechanical setup. You can't run solid lifters on a hydraulic cam.
Everything else should be the same. Does your motor have the removable oil line in the pushrod galley or not?
Good luck
