another option, depending on money or your welding skills is use a later model frame 64-72. All the demensions are so very close use the older mounts on the newer frame. Drill out the rivets and use good bolts.
I have a 66 LWB frame powder coated with all new components disc front that I was going to do that to another 57 i bought. Already did it to one of my 55-57 and am very happy with it. All stock parts with out having to worry about getting a camaro front clip right. A lot have done it, few have done it right.
