You don't perhaps have a harmonic balancer on this engine with 60-63
style rear mount parts, do you?
The harmonic balancer came out in 1964, and does not fit the rear
mount/bracket etc. that came on a 1963 originally.
Pry and wiggle is my modus operandi when this happens. But you cannot
pry the engine away from its own mount...
