Hey carguy, I've never installed a 5.0 in a 55 Ford but you may want to get one of those levels that show the driveline angle. Measure the angle on the rear end drive shaft yoke and then on the tranny tailshaft. I would think that would tell you weather you can use the trans mount as is or if you have to modify its mounting location.
