Don't worry about the gallery gaskets. I have confirmed with my swap motor that they do not need to be replaced on 2014 motors, so most likely not necessary on yours.

+1 to all of this. 2013 HR motors have the upgraded oil gallery gaskets from the factory so no need to worry about that. The second link here is to a megathread for 5.7 swaps, i compiled every forum thread i could find on the topic as well as a short series of videos someone made of them doing a swap on youtube into one spot; every detail you need to know is covered, usually several times over.
