If 1962 interchanges, I have one I'd part with.

I have one that I removed from my 57 Coupe when I replaced the 365 with a 1962 390 motor.  There is a difference between the two.  The 390 tube is a smaller diameter tube with an additional bend to go around the "spin-on" oil filter which is not present on the 365 motor.  If you want mine you can have it just pay for the shipping, call me anytime.  631 988-1139, Doug

Was the 365 to 390 swap difficult?

The swap was not difficult.  No difference in the dimensions of the motor, so it was pretty straight forward.  My original motor was cracked due to the previous owner running with no antifreeze.  I would have liked to find another 365 for originality but the 390 was available and the price was right.

And the transmission bolted right up?  I'm assuming it would, but I'm no expert.
