Probally not on the 1955 models as that was the first year, I think anyways, that Plymouth offered the Poly V8. Before that, 1953 and earlier, they where a real pain to install a V8 in without moving the steering colum and other nasty things like that. I believe 1954 was the first year Dodge offered the small Red Ram Hemi, I really don't know what Plymouth offered that year I'm almost sure that one of the members on here has a 1955 or 1956 Plymouth Fury with a B or RB motor in it, maybe he will pitch in for you about it

I have a '55 Belvedere that originally was a 6cyl with a 3 spd. I have not noticed any major differences in the inner fender shapes, or the firewall and components. Not to say I am right though - I am putting a 354 Hemi in mine, and it is a gasser-type build. So, I'm not using the inner fenders or other none sense.

Look at it closely for rust. There are some patch panels that can be bought - like rockers, lower quarters (behind wheel), and some patch panels for the fenders. Not cheap though.
There are alot of "overlapping seams" in the panels of these cars. This means lots of places for moisture to collect and rust. Floor boards, rockers, body mounts, etc.
Doors and fenders are hard to find - make sure they are usable if you can.
