It would yes.
Do you happen to know of chance if the rear main is changeable without dropping the pan and removing the rear main cap? I know some older engines the rear main seal is held in a groove by the rear main cap or something of the like.
The rear end also hums at speeds above 30mph'ish'. The hum changes with the gas pedal too. I checked the oil and it was low, I am sure the bearings if not all of it are pretty well toast.
I have a 9" in storage that I have been saving for my mustang. I wouldn't waste it on the 62 but I would maybe swap the current rear from the stang to the 62 and just set the stang on the 9" for now to roll it around. But that is allot of work and I believe the stang rear is to wide for the comet anyhow.
Man the delemas.

170 I6 it is the original and I don't believe it has ever been apart. Car has 72,000 miles on it but yet everything seems to be worn. I don't think it was maintained well.

The more I am thinking about it the more I am thinking of yanking it and dropping in a small v8 and different trans. I can keep the original motor and trans around if at some point I sell the car and the new owner wants original stuff yet.
Oh yeah, good morning Pat! I finally get a day off!
