I also have a 4 cylinder 63 that I want to V-8 in time. The frame mounts on a 4 cylinder are different than a V-8 and they are welded to the crossmember. You may have to cut/weld custom mounts on the crossmember. I believe the 4 cylinder also has a different bellhousing pattern on the drivers side. The crank flange may also be different on tempest/lemans engines for the rope shaft versus a trditional V-8. Perhaps Mechanickeith, TomS, 63Banshee, tempestfugit or peterserio will pipe in there knowledge. Post same question in 61-63 tempest tech forum.
