If you use the Buick Engines by the Numbers and go to the page which includes 1955 here:
https://www.teambuick.com/reference/ident_engine_53-58.php

Your number (read it V 5627525) falls after the 1954 line:

50

V-8 322

V273956-5

and before the 1955 line

50

V-8 322

V720080-5

This makes it a 322 manufactured in 1954. It would be quite appropriate for an early 1955 car.
