I don't know about the later Olds engines but when I was in HS I had a 56' 88 engine in my 40 F*&D. The starter was on the streetside and had to be swung over top the curbside with a special adaptor as it interfered with the steering gear. Not a fun deal but was very strong runner. I also think that the transmissions you put up to them must have the BOP bolt pattern so Chevy trannys/bellhousings are out.
