You need to consider they don't have the full oil filter. That didn't come til '60, so you have to get creative to have full oil filter for a HR. Keith Dorton - AS engines Concord NC tried(on my '58 365) but not worth it. He has dyno.

I have a short block 62. No 62 heads, but I have 63 heads with valve covers and rockers. They will bolt up. I have the intake manifold too.
