I don't know if any '57 Belvederes came w dual fours. I guess it's possible, but I've never seen a "numbers matching" one like you want. '57 318s will have an engine # that starts P31- ###### (unless it's a Fury engine then it will be FP31-######). '58 Plymouth V8s were the first to not use the P numbering system, which dated back to the 30s. I'm not positive on this, but I think a '58 V8 would start with MP-#######. I have a '58 DeSoto block which starts MD-######. Can anyone confirm the '58 Plymouth engine number sequences?
