I am not sure how much different the '62 is from the '63 but if you have enough clearance at the hood hinge area then the heater hoses could make that bend without kinking and restricting flow. If not then that core might not work for you. The size of the '63 heater core is 9 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 2 1/2". That size is for the finned portion. If you remove yours you can compare before shopping to confirm that it will fit the '62. I did not need to grind out very much to enlarge the hole, perhaps 1/8". Hope all this helps.
