The Hollander exchange manual says the 262 was made from 1961 to 1964.It will replace a 215 or 223 by switching some parts depending what the motor is going into. 223 heads can be used on the 262,but different years use different temp.sending units.Also early 223 heads will have to have the head bolt holes in the head drilled out so the 1/2 inch head bolts can be used.Intakes interchange,as will exhaust manifolds,but check the header pipe size and location where it fits on the manifold.Rocker arms of all types interchange.Three types of connecting rods were used.1961 to 1963 had heavy duty cranks (steel)? And 1964 had both light duty(cast)? cranks and heavy duty cranks same as 1961 to 1963.Oil pans should interchange,but may have a larger capacity or a different sump location. I would pickup a Ford master parts catalog for more information.
Good luck,
