I own a 55 GMC with the 287. Mine has the three speed stick trans. Mine runs great but is rusted beyond hope. The 57 engine you installed is probably a 347. You can use the aluminum oil filter adapter from the 400 Pontiac engines to convert to a spin on oil filter. The later electronic ignition distributer will work also.
