Is this a 442 engine?
455 block? 395558 2 or 385558 2 what was this in?
How do i read the vin to ensure a true 442?

You will not be able to confirm a 455 block was from a 4-4-2 unless you have the matching VIN number from the car itself.

395558 2 is a 350 block casting, not a 455. Post a photo of the VIN derivative stamp.
