<VV> swapping Caveman engine

[Cliff Tibbitts]

This has no doubt been covered a gazillion times, but here goes.  I recently
came across someone in my area that has a 1960 with a seized engine.  He
claims to have a running 63 that he wants to put in the car.   What I know
about the cavemen, you could write on the back of a matchbook cover.  Could
someone give me a heads up about the various differences between the two
engines.  Specifically, can the 63 be mated to the 60 transmission?  Aren't
the starters different?  The engine tins, etc?  Is the 63 block similar
enough to the 60 that the peripheral pieces like bell housing, engine tin,
etc be transferred from one to the other?  In short can it work and how
difficult would it be?

 

Thanks,
