Please email me at vlafountaine@socal.rr.com,,,,, much easier for me if you please. The 250 is a taller motor by about 2"s and much better to use a late doghouse as its also 1 3/4" taller as well... some tricks to that one but not an issue to build. In particular both the 1961 and the 1962 both have a weaker frame as thinner gauge metal used,,, just be aware they are more prone to cracked frames. Also, you will need outside frame mounts and your present inboard mount is also 4"s too far rear ward,, no big deal to handle as you have nothing on the outside there in the 1st place,,,, You will also need a transmission cross member to help you as you have no hump in the back of the doghouse,,,,, it would make your install much cleaner and easier AND better cooling as you will need the 240 sized radiator also if you used a 65 to 67 doghouse,,,, Seems to be quite normal for people to not say a pickup or a van,,,,,, LOL
