How do '62 196's differ?

I have been offered a '62 Classic for free, and the
body is in good enough condition to be a nice looking
driver. The transmission is there, but no engine.
I have several rebuildable 196s sitting around, but I
understand that there is something unique about the
'62 version of that engine - perhaps how the
crossmember fits under the oil pan or the locations of
the engine mounts - that prohibits easily dropping in
a 196 from an earlier year.
I do not have the '62 here, so I cannot check the
locations of the engine mounting points or the
location of the crossmember against one of the
engines. The engine I would like to drop in is a
1960. I do not want to do an overhaul on that engine
only to find out that I have to do a bunch of cutting
and welding to get it in to the car!
Thanks, guys.
