Re: Good engine for 62 chevy truck?
IMO, you should decide what you plan to do with the truck. The 60 came with a 235, 283 or 349 motor so if stock is what you're after then no. Most states now don't allow you to put a motor that is older than then one you took out so you need to be careful there. There are a ton of kits available for a large array of motors. putting a larger motor in that 60 frame can be difficult because of the torsion bars which is one of the reasons I opted to put a 64 frame under my truck.

Re: Good engine for 62 chevy truck?
not original, not a hot rod - i'd stick to 57 or higher 283s personally - I gair-on-teee some 56 chevy bel air resto nut would give you his first born for a '56 265... Personally, unless there's some sentimental reason, I'd sell it to the highest bidder and buy something you want - either a mid-60s small block or a new crater. (I know which one I'd pick - the mid 60's...) 283s are not exactly a dime a dozen anymore, but they are compared to a 265. I'd trade up!
