Do a little research.

I found a local guy parting a '79 Camaro. I got everything under the hood for $300.

Complete 350 engine. (alt, starter, dist, carb, water pump all included)
350 TH trans.
set of headers.
engine compartment wiring harness.
trans cooler.
even the drive shaft.

I decided the '57 needed to have a clutch. So the Muncie 4-speed is staying in.
