Jetfire (turbo) came out in 62..Std Corvair type T3 turbo

Not a Q jet , a 4GC

Pontiac was the only 61-63 (big) compact with IRS..Buck, Olds were straight rear, four arm susp.

Pontiac used a variation of the Powerglide...Oldes were three speed Roto Hydramatics
(Slim Jims)
No modern 3 speed will bolt to that block...Don't know about the later Rover version bolt pattern

Carry on...
