<VV> Power Train Swap/Body Work

[Joel McGregor]

I've never tried to run EM yokes in a LM differential.  Does that work ok?  If not you will have to swap the differential which will involve figuring out the correct selective washer for the Powerglide.  You will lose your speedometer drive if you use the LM differential.
I know you can use a '64 mount and '64 engine bracket.
I would think a '61-'63 A/C mount and A/C engine bracket would also work.
The '64 mount holes to the body are at a different height from the earlier mounts.  Not sure what this does or if the '61-'63 engine brackets are at a different height to match the mount.

I am pulling the power train out of and I want to put it into a 62 wagon. Per the Tech Guide it sounds like the only changes I'll need to make are swapping the engine mount bracket and the throttle lever (as the guide says the 67-69 level will not clear the 60-64 suspension). I read I will also need a 64 mounting bracket or space the 62 motor mount plate out if I have a harmonic balancer (fan belt install clearance). For the shift lever issue can I simply drop the pan and switch levers?
