You know that the 202 wasn't as good as the 186 in Land Rovers don't you? It all has to do with the cam, in the 1960's most transmissions were 3 speed manual so the cam was designed around torque at lower revs. By the time of the 202 a large proportion of vehicles had auto transmissions where the torque converter dealt with low speed work and the cam was re-designed to have the torque at higher revs.
Addit. Try to find a sump off a HT Holden, this had the large part of the sump in the centre of the engine so is better for both climbing and hill decent. A must is an oil cooler. The big problem with Holdens is the lack of oil volume, and once the oil gets hot nothing can bring the temp down. An oil cooler does two things, provides an external source of heat exchange and provides additional oil volume
