Default engine swap

I have a standard bore 62 870 block I want to build and put into my 63, it currently has a tired 350 in it, my question is are the blocks the same, 62 and 63 except for the date codes, I an worried about the motor mounts as they are different for 62 and 63, will the motor mounts currently in the car work for this 62 block, thanks Mike

Motor mounts will be fine - all small-blocks from '58-up had the same three tapped bosses on the side of the block for the mounts.
