Modern transmissions??

The standard 3-speed tranny (no overdrive) in my '41 Clipper is in need of lots of work after I jammed the gears really bad. Before I go about fixing the thing, is there any easy way to mate a modern automatic to my 282? I know after years of frustration with a '55 Ultramatic in his Clipper, my son had a Chrysler (747 maybe??) put in his car, and it has made all the difference for him. I like originality, BUT I'm not about judging . . . we tour a lot and an automatic with overdrive would really be nice... ADVICE/IDEAS/EXPERIENCE NEEDED!
