the shift box under the hood is the same any year, just the column itself is different, longer inside, so those rods inside [down to the shift box] need to stay with your column, the shift box can too - the rods off the 58 [shift box to trans] will be needed with the 58 trans - if you keep the 55 trans you'll need to fab up part of the linkage from the shift box because of the pivot on the 55 bellhousing [or find a 55 V8 bellhousing, your 6 cyl bellhouse won't fit the 283]
I've never passed up buying a 283, even if they're just cores, have 6 right now
a 65 is fine
