Comments / Installation Method
I followed tonymacx86's awesome guide with minor tweaks to successfully get OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 installed.

I configured UniBeast to use Legacy USB Support as processor is 1156.
I used this Boot Flag to get the UniBeast Flash Drive to Boot: -x GraphicsEnabler=Yes.
In MultiBeast I clicked:
EasyStart and select EasyBeast
Bootloader and select the latest Chimera
Customize and selected GraphicsEnabler=Yes under Boot Options,Mac Pro 3,1 under System Definitions
If you get a boot0: GPT error follow this:
-Boot with your UniBeast flash drive and open Disk Utility.
-Select your Boot HDD and Unmount it.
-Now open Terminal
-type diskutil list
-Look for your Boot HDD's Identifier and your UniBeats's NAME. Make note of both.
-type dd if=/Volumes/UniBeastDriveNameHere/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/Boot HDD *
* Replace the text in the command above with the Boot HDD's Identifier and your UniBeats's NAME.
If you have any suggestions to improve on this or similar build using the Biostar H55HD please let me know. =)
