can you tell me what is better about the 56.
Sure, #1, it's all aluminum so it's lighter.
#2, they made a lot of upgrades in that year concerning the torque converter, valve body, front and rear pumps, governors, etc. It really is a better trans than the '55.
As for being a "purist", it bolts right in, looks identical when painted, and unless someone crawls under the car with a magnet they're never going to know. To me, the choice is obvious.
