Could i use this 55 Chevy Cameo engine in a 55 Chevy Bel Air ? I know the air filter is wrong, but that's easy to fix.

Looks like the difference is in the air cleaner.

the engine in your picks looks like it might be the earlier 50 truck engine, valve cover difference.

Those are both 216 Chevrolet engines, incorrect for any Chevrolet after '53. What you need is the 235 from the AMT '60 Chevrolet truck.
