The 312 Y-block originally started out as a T-Bird engine, first offered in 1956 and T-birds had a different engine mounting arrangement than the full-size cars. In 1957 and later, Ford did away with front engine steady-rests in full-size cars.
To my knowledge, Ford offered a 272 Y-block w/2bbl ECG and an optional 292 w/4bbl teapot (a variation of this was only offered to police interceptors in 1955). And in '56 they introduced the 312 T-Bird engine. I don't think they were available from the factory in full-sized cars in '56.
