Joe Padavano and Eric Jensen have 62s which are similar enough they'll know where to steer you.
Four-speed is a big advantage on this car as you don't have to fool with the baby Slim Jim automatic they had.
The aluminum 215 V8 was used by English Rovers for decades and the Brits have all kinds of goodies for this engine. If you can't find the original 4-speed they'll have figured out a way to adapt a 5 or 6 speed to it.
Cool little Olds. One thing that concerns me is looks like front end may have been in water up to the brake drums.

The T5 or new Tremec is a much better trans anyway. If you find a Camaro T5, it has a usefully higher ratio first gear, but I think the input shaft is different and may require a different bellhousing or spacers. Over there, the Ford trans is cheap and available, you want to find the Mustang or Fox body 5.0.
