My understanding is you'll want a '64 mount to install a '64 powerpack
into a Lakewood. The only difference I'm aware of from the '61 parts
is the '64 bracket is shifted to the rear slightly to clear the
harmonic balancer and a/c pulley combination. The vertical dimension
is the same. Basically the engine bracket and mount should match.
