Welcome to the forum! Rods, yes! Mains, probably! However, I'll defer to someone with more experience on the mains.

If you are just replacing bearings (rods & mains), that can be done by just removing the pan. If you are replacing the rear main seal, it's been done with just the pan removed.If I were doing it, the engine would be pulled an crankshaft removed ,And I would use the two peace lip seal. The rope seal, made nowa days is is a peace of junk, in my humble opinion.

Yes it can be done but. If you are doing it because you have a knock then your only throwing good money after bad since the crank will need to be turned or you will just have to do it again. 90% of the time your better off to pull the engine and have the crank checked and all then replace the parts other wise you stand a good chance that your only doing a stop gap fix that will come back and bite you on the but later

Not a 1962 year.1954. You will have trouble ordering parts.
