Daniel,
Yes, your motor is going to be and look different simply due to design changes between the ’56 30hp and your ’57 35hp. Not sure what type of computer/software you have for your photo files. On my Mac, I just got under Preview Tools, hit “adjust size” and change the photo width/height to reduce it if it’s too large.
I provided my photos thinking it might help you visualize how yours might look. It’s not going to be an exact match.
Edit – the starter bracket on my motor came off a ’57 Johnson. It can mount either a 6v or 12v starter and when I did the conversion, I wanted to go with 12v. As Frank R noted, sounds like you might have the wrong ring gear and/or bracket.
