64 was the first year of the "modern" olds V8. The car should have come with a 330 engine and most likely a jetaway 2 speed trans. You should be able to drop any "modern" (260, 307, 330, 350, 403, 400, 425, 455) in there with little issue so long as you get the correct 330 engine mounts. The only thing is headers may be an issue with a BBO (big block olds) as they were not offered in the A body until 1965 and even so they are hard to find.
