Well you have to know what you're looking for, but those 65 
transmissions are getting harder to find by the day. Imperial units are 
going to be all that's left to choose from one day.
Are you sure the pan is leaking?
Usually the culprit is the shift cable O-ring,  park cable O-ring,  or 
the throttle valve lever seal, or maybe all of these. Normally just one 
out of three.
If the kickdown rod is extended longer than it's intended length, it 
will stretch out the throttle valve seal. The leak will start almost 
immediately, and will ruin the seal forever.
You can stop the leaks.
Usually you can buy the entire transmission  for $50 to $100 , then 
strip the extension housing and shaft.
I've bought about four for $100 or less.
I even found a guy that mailed me an input shaft, and reaction shaft for 
the front of the trans for $20 for shipping.
What a deal!
The cables are another story. NOS stock is all but gone, so you're 
usually left to the reproductions.
