It needs a little more skirt to the piston... The combo of 4" stroke - 6" rods - std deck height - just doesn't leave enough piston in the bore to make for a "long term" build.

No jack issue, you've certainly earned your tri-five 'press pass'.
Regarding the ITB issue, I'm going LT-5, so of course I'd need a custom intake. Since I'm still trying to locate a 'clean '55 2 dr post body locally, I have time on that issue.
I'm not an LS in everything guy obviously, but any other reason(s) besides adding a lot of additional complexity at this point, for not putting one in your '56?
