I'm not that familar with the early falcons, but with a 200 I6 the C4 could be a good option if you want to stay with an automatic. It would require a different bellhousing and rear mount, along with incidentals like speedo cable, linkage, and shift indicator. All the parts can be sourced from 60's and 70's vintage donor cars. It is certainly doable, just depends on how much you want to invest and how much work you want to put in. The 200 is a great motor to start from. Since you are starting from scratch, I would make the investment to go to a C4 at least, and maybe even consider an AOD transmission if you plan to keep the car.
