From the upright carburetor, I would say it's a 51/52 232 engine.
Can you get the serial number?
Are you sure the overdrive is a Saginaw and not a Borg Warner? I've never heard of a Saginaw overdrive.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.

It's Definitely a 232"! It's carburetor and thermostat housing, look like those that were used on either '51- '52 Commanders or trucks from '54 on. I'm not really sure, whether or not, any '55s were actually made with the fuel pump located on the filler tube, like that? Maybe if 232"s were still available as a truck engine, in '55?

Near the bottom of this page are some photos that help you find the number you can bounce off the list.

SOME of the above Posts info will work on 1953 and on Studebaker V8's, but this is a 1951 or 1952 "232", so the Engine Number is next to the Distributor in the Rear, on a machined flat Pad.
The above Posts info is correct though about the fact that the Number IS hand STAMPED into the casting, not raised as part of the Casting.
UPDATE in Maroon:
obviously '55 Was a Typo, if '51-52 are in the rear, '53 to '64 would in the front.StudeRich
