1. A kit for 56 will fit the frame. I use pre flared lengths form FLAPS instead of kits.
2. The last bit of line from frame rail to pump inlet is rubber. So there is no issue there. You clamp hose to flared end of steel line and use a hose barb with clamp on pump inlet port. Filter before pump. None after.
3. From pump outlet, use a pre flared piece (if kit piece does not fit) and proper fittings to adapt at pump and carb. Rubber can actually be used there.

I know on several suggestions you say: thanks but I want to be original. You are not original with that motor, so you have to flex and adapt. No one can be so original as to cause themselves unnecessary headaches.
