Anybody know...

Sure there were. A '63-65 B-body with a 318 would have had one
Sure are. I have a small-block 727 push-button tranny in my shed. I paid $100 at a Mopar swap meet, incl torque conv & adapter to change from B&T to a sliding-yoke driveshaft. A few months before that a guy was selling one on craigslist, also $100. For an early-A, you need to beat a flange in the tranny tunnel flat to fit it, but otherwise supposedly bolts-in. Mine is 2000 mi from the OP and not for sale, but shows they are available.

Would also need a V-8 steering cross-link and a 65-66 small-block oil pan, or dent a later one so the steering doesn't hit the side. The 7.25" rear-end likely needs changing to maybe a Ford 8.8.
