The earlier 350 had a 4 plate clutch G36 5. For '55 both 350 and 500 had the 5 plate clutch g36 3. It's just a case of the parts list illustrations not being updated. It happens a lot!
You don't say what clutch plates you're using. Are they new Sureflex type? In which case you probabely won't get all 5 in. I'd try it with 4 and see how it goes. Worth fitting new springs as well. Have you got the correct rollers? These are not 1/4x1/4, but are a few thou shorter or they will end load.

The thin one is for an AMC clutch. The Burman is 5/16" dia by about 10 1/8" long for the 500.
