You can use the '67 intake and carb if you switch over to a cable throttle, '62 probably has rod style linkage. You may need to find a driveshaft too. The '62 was ball & trunnion.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Since the 62 Valiant owner doesn't have the original engine, let me just point out that any 1966 and earlier carbs, mounts, and oil pans will work, not just 62. 62-6 chassis/suspensions are dimensionally the same. 61-earlier fronts are different; as are 67-later.

The Valiant owner planned to swap the 67 engine and trans into the 62, so the crank/converter fit wouldn't be an issue anyway; 2. The change occurred in the 68 model year. A 67 slant-6 engine will bolt up to a 62 slant-6 trans/converter w/o a problem.
