I think it's pretty cool that your Patrician may have a factory replacement engine

Whoa, there! I only advised that the factory (that is, the survivng South Bend operations) had offered up surplus 55 engines as service replacements for 56 Seniors.

In view of the casting date and metallic green engine paint, the block and heads, in Troy's car appear to have an engine built for use in a 56 Clipper or Exec.

If never stamped with a VN in either of the two locations, then this engine IS likely a service replacement, but not factory-sanctioned as a replacement for a 56 Senior car.
