Your ‘65 326 has the large base Rochester 2-barrel.
The only engines that used the small base 2-barrel in 1965 would have been the Tri-Power 389 or 421 which used the small base center carb.

If you want that cushiony, almost floaty ride, I'd opt for the stock type spiral shocks. They'll do just that.
I've had the Gabriel shocks on my 1969 Firebird and they are fairly supple as well.
