Others here may know details, but you might need to double-check the 
rear motor mount business, and speedo location.

62 is different than 63-up, which is two mounts under the motor left 
right, an only one unter the trans tail. 62 has two mounts in rear, 
right? I forget what the 62 "big car" uses, but the American the rear 
mounts are on the bellhousing, so for that car either would work. This 
business is easily checked before you buy.

Frank points out that the speedo gear and cable comes out of the TOP of 
the trans on one set of years/models, and out the BOTTOM on the other. 
Bottom might work in a "top" car, but not vice-versa.


Sorry to be a bummer!

Yeah, the OD would be a drop-in, and the under dash cable for it easy. 
But you really need to change the axle ratio at the same time, six or eight.
