Sounds like this will be a fun car!

We put a 5.9 Magnum into a 57 Dodge wagon for my son a couple of years ago. Its apart right now, hoping to get into the paint shop soon. We converter the original frame to 4 wheel disc and adapted the original steering to 5.9 pump.
I have also done a couple of Dakota frame clips and a full frame swap. If there is anything I can help you with, PM me or ask here.
