First off, all CA95 engines of all years will fit any year frame. Things like exhaust, carburetors, wiring etc will interchange without problems.

You stated that yours is a 1963. There were 2 versions of the 1963. Early and late versions. Most of the differences are minimal however, if you have an early '63, the clutch cable for that version will not fit the late 1963 on up to 1966. In short they ran production from 1959 to 1963 1/2 (early) then 1963 1/2 to 1966 (late)

There are 2 noticeable differences between the engines for identification.

1) The early model has a tachometer on the cylinder head on the kickstart side of the engine. The later models do not.

2) On the shifter side, there is a cover that covers the counter shaft that the clutch cable goes into. This cover has a straight edge that mates against the stator cover. On the early 1963, this area is solid metal for the whole length.
On the late 1963 and newer, there is a rectangle shape cut out of it for a rubber cover. It's real close to the external clutch adjuster on the stator cover.

Google the ca95 history and you will see the differences, but at most, you may have to change that clutch cable.
