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.

- Justin
