Before spending a lot of time on trying to find a 1965-67 block, I'd get the straight facts from your local/state DMV. Second and third hand info can be costly when trying to register one of these and you could wind up wasting a bunch of money when your state would have just relied on the data on the MSO (for example) to register it as a '60s-era car.
When you say you are building a Factory Five with a luxury-shaped interior and then adding AC, you will have long-since broken any notion of era-correctness (in my humble opinion), so why waste time/money/energy/weight on a big old clunky hunk of cast iron FE?
