I worked on them back in the day, also had a few myself. Had a 58 fuely
Years ago i had a manifold that was heated by water from the heater hose. But you will not need to heat it unless you are driving it in cold weather.

My first car was a 41 chev station wagon. The wood was bad. I put a 41 Pontaic two door body on. It fit nice, but I think the rear fenders had...

I have a 1956 Belair 2 door hard top. It has the original 265 4 barrel power pack.
Sounds about right to me. That is about what they ran back in the day.
