1962 valiant shifter change

Your setup looks great, but make sure the your starter/flywheel is compatible with your bell housing.
61 used a direct drive starter and flywheel with a different tooth count than the 62,.which used the more common gear reduction unit.
Not sure if the bell is interchangeable between the two setups..I'd google before laying down under the car

No the bell for the column shift and the housing and the tail housing is different. All parts other than bellhousing are factory date coded for the 62 About. The universal bellhousing being used should create no issues with starter and allows tranny itself to sit leaned to the driver side for clearance of rods to the link bracket and the to the shifter
