Since I'm not a Ford guy, I can't say whether the 3-speed toploader in the Delmont has a unique input spline pattern and length to fit in the Olds or also whether it has the same front bolt pattern as a 3-speed found in an actual Ford. If you are going to do a 4-speed conversion, the easiest is to use a long tailshaft Muncie 4-speed. Olds used them in 1965 and 1966 on their full-sizes and they were used more commonly on full-size Pontiacs 1965-1968. Your bellhousing should have 2 bolt patterns on it - one for the Ford toploader and one to accept a Muncie (actually it will also accept a Saginaw 4-speed but there is no long tailshaft version of that trans). Using the long tailshaft Muncie 4-speed allows you to use the existing driveshaft and clutch/pressure plate assembly.
