Value of a 1955 292 T-bird engine?

Pay attention to those valve covers. If they are in good shape they could be worth $500 to the right person. When I give that number I must admit that I have not been following the early bird stuff and could be off but lets just say they are valuable and not argue about the price.

Another thing if you put it in a rod. The exhaust manifold that Ford used on big trucks (trash trucks etc) will bolt on and look great. Are these the "rams" you referred to? They are available as reproductions but I don't know anything about the quality.

Yes
FYI: New-in-box reproduction Tbird valve covers are 200 to 220 each. OEM in excellent condition are more desirable, but usually a similar price due to age/condition issues.
