" 1. who with an auto transmission has put a 4v intake on their L6? and more 
" importantly, what did they do for a new kickdown linkage?

i believe someone did it with their eagle [?], and used a lokar
universal torqueflite cable and i think ford brackets on the carb.
i don't know anyone who's done it with a warner auto but iirc my
'67 marlin 232's had a vac kickdown hooked to the manifold.

" 2. the 196 block was the aluminum one right? how different was it from the 
" later 232/242/258 L6's? could this be the baisis for a nice light 4.7L 
" stroker? will later heads bolt up? probabaly with some minor machine work 
" eh?

as the other andy said, the 196 has nothing to do with the
199/232/258/4.0.  it was basically a prewar flathead design, small
bore and long stroke, which was ultimately made in ohv and
aluminum-block ohv versions.

actually, they do share one thing.  the 172/184/196 and the '64-'71
199/232/258 have the same block bellhousing pattern and flywheel
diameter, though i don't know if the 'wheels themselves swap.

'72-up sixes have the larger v8 pattern and flywheel size.
