AUTOKING, what number is on you engine? As HH56 pointed out earlier it is easy to find on the front of the engine on the top near the oil fill pipe. It should match the number on the plate in the door opening that you found. To assist you in finding your number, I have posted a photo of my engine number.
If it matches you have the original engine. The 320 cu. in., 225 b.h.p. Super and Deluxe Clippers were painted a red-like color, the 352 cu. in. engine was painted an ivory color. Also the 320s were Auto Lite equipped and the 352s came with Delco Remy electrical equipment.
There is a wealth of information on this site (manuals, model information, photos, discussion forum, etc.) and many here are expert in the 55-56 cars.
Welcome, and send us some photos of your new find, sounds like a good one.
