You might try to find a '57 factory 4 barrel intake manifold as it has the right bolt pattern for the Edelbrock. The Edelbrock is a direct copy of the Carter AFB which was first used on the '57 312. Ford used three new 4 barrels in 57: the AFB, the 4100 Ford/Autolite (probably the best if you can find one-very simple and reliable) and the Holley (model 4150 or 4160) which is still much the same today. I don't know if Ford was experimenting or if supplies were short but I have seen all three carbs on '57 312's. As mentioned you will need the distributor from a '57 thru '64 292 or 312.
