Re: '38 tranny to 53 patrician, will it work?

G'day all, Yes, a 1953 327 will fit into a 1938 120 and there is a Packard tech instruction on how to do so. I fitted a 1954 -327 into my 1938 -120 and it works fine. The complications arose when i fitted an R6 overdrive into the drivetrain. It would also be possible to fit a 38 gearbox into the 53 but you would have to source a few bits and modify the tailshaft. You would be better to fit an R11 to the 53 Patrician. I am really not sure of what you want to do to what and why? Best regards Peter Toet.
