OK, so if you don't have the side mount bosses, then you either have a 265 or maybe an early 283.
In this photo...
you will see a note for the engine ID/VIN code. In '55-57 they didn't put part of the VIN in this number on that pad - that came later. If your block hasn't been 'decked' (a machining process sometimes done during quality rebuilds), then a number & letter code will appear. I think if you get that code from the pad, then there are guys here who can decode it and possibly determine year & engine size from it, amongst some other things.
