Mark,
You might try the ubb at chevytalk.com There is a specific tri five section that my buddy with a 57 has found quite useful. We looked for a tri five mailing list, couldn't find one, started one, and it hasn't really gone anywhere.
hope that helps get you pointed in the right direction.. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

Plan on firewall work; as big as the engine compartment is on a 55 the pass side head needs more room in the rear. Other fun areas are oil pan to center link clearance, and headers. I also used modern side mounts for the 427. Plan on fitting the engine a few times before painting, its a tighter fit than you may think.
