here's what I have, 1960 430 from a tbird,1965 lincoln 430, and 1966 lincoln 462, all three of these bellhousings are different, the early tbird is the same as the FE family but somwhere the 62 or 63 they changed to a different pattern using more bolt holes towards the bottom(on the 65 block) and the 462 has the teardrop shaped c6 trans.also note that I wanted to put a 430 into a 59 tbird, the 60 bird used special stands to use the front 4 hole mounts(pads). I used the standard side 2 bolt mounts and turned my 352 mounts 180 degrees and the 430(65 block)dropped right in,(using the standard 352 crossmember) these look like later year tbird mounts. so the mounts on the FE and the MEL are very close. My 462 is complete and was running good when pulled, I plan on installing it with the C6.
