i have a few ? for u what motor mounts did you use on your 62 and did u change the upper and lower control arms
or will the stock ones work i have the v8 steering stuff. if there is anything else i have to change could u let me know
a guy on the IMOA forum said to just put a six back in it but it takes a lot of $ to make a six run like a v8
thanks for your time and info

I used 69 Mustang motor mounts because I had them,the 63-65 mounts will let the engine set slightly lower.You will probably need upper and lower control arms and spindle however some of the later 62s have the correct a arms.You will need the strut rods that go with the control arms too.late 62s have the correct ones,ealy models have the smaller units.I bought a beat up 64 Comet 4 door and used it all from steering column to spindles.I bought new upper and lower control arms,They are cheap ,they are the same as a Mustang.Aluminum Radiators are quite reasonable now.I just bought a nice one for $179 ,and its not one with the crappy lookin welds.He also has the conversion radiators with the lower hose on the drivers side for $159.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Must ... 4a9fd6d4cf
Well,Putting the six back is the easiest,but I have already done that and it wasn't really what I wanted.I did enjoy the 27 mpg from the 144,but the 302 4speed is way cooler and faster,plus it sounds awesome.

thanks again that 63 grill looks bad ass. my dad and brother have redone a lot of cars all fomoco stuff but we have
never done a early comet/falcon so thanks again for the help we do have 69 mustang motor mounts.
if u ever do a 66-71 fairlane-torino or 71-73 mustang and get stumped let me know
thanks travis

Yeahhh, those grilles turn a lot of heads! I used some Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish on it, and it reeeeeeaally shines!
