Any problems or considerationw when I pull out a '56 Dodge 315 poly V8 and go to install a '57 Dodge 325 Hemi engine?    \

Will the exhaust manifolds still clear suspension?    The '57 frame was different for torsion bars of course and the '57 exhaust manifold looks larger.

Do I need to use the '56 oil pan and pump pickup to conform to the '56 frame on the '57 engine?

Engine front mounting plate.  Need to use the '56 original to match the mounts?

Anything else?

Transmission would bolt up I know but see my other thread.

ref shows '57 being center sump & '56 being front, so a change of pans & oil pick tube would seem to be in order. Right side ex mans are same 53-57, & left side same for 56 & 57.

Can't change the thread title that I know of. SHOULD read the swap is to a '57 D FIVE Hundred, not six.
