So I purchased a '57 because I loved the look of the 2-door wagon body and didn't realize how far from stock the vehicle was.
In trying to put it back to how it should be, it appears that I will have to source a new engine, transmission & rear-end for a "D" code 312.
Other than the usual Ebay and Craigslist, where would you go to source this and how much should I budget for a working set-up?
On the other hand, what I have is working fine and is from a 1965 Galaxy apparently.
Since this is a y-block forum, can someone explain why you like the y-block so much and if you'd do the swap in my shoes.

Thanks.
