If you use loctite on the fan housing bolts, use 242 loctite. It is
removable. Also, the factory had star washers under the heads of the
bolts originally. Some silicone gasket adhesive over the heads of them
after ther are tight will keep them from backing out.
Don't forget to put the thermostat bell crank under the 2 top center
head bolts, if your engine had them originally. Stuff rags in the intake
ports until you are ready to install the manifolds. Make sure the
distributor drive gear is in right for a T-3. A lot of shops install
them from habit for T-1.

Thanks. No thermostat on a '62, so I don't have to worry about getting that right. I'll double check the distributor drive.
