If you have the 1965 model, then it will have the J12 engine & not the A12 which was first seen in 1970. The simplest swap would be the J15 engine & these should not be too hard to find, although you would likely need to major overhaul any J15 that you were going to use.
If your engine is the J12, then have a think about the J15.
Plan B?
An L series engine & five speed. You should be able to get a Series One Bluebird, or 200B type L20B engine & box for next to nothing these days & they are a strong & reliable power plant. This should perk up an old truck quite nicely.
The Series Two Bluebird engine [L20B] is also a good candidate, but it has a lot more smog gear to fiddle with.
Plan C?
An A15 & gearbox from a late '70's or early 80's model Vanette.
All of these choices are good, but one of then will suit your needs better, & only you can make that choice.

I know that the A14 crank can be used in A12 blocks without too much drama, but i think that the A15 crank might be a bit of a challenge.
