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

So I printed these Packard documents out and my friend loved to see them! We got the '53 home on the weekend and started pulling it apart to get at the engine. It is ceased which we knew but its been sitting in the grass since 1969 so that was to be expected. He's going to get it unceased and find out for sure if it will fit in the engine compartment of the '38. Does anyone know the dimensions of the '53 and '38 engines? How much more room is he going to need? Anyways, once he gets all the parts off the '53, there will still be lots of the car left and we would hate to see it go to waste, so let me know if anyone needs anything off of it. It's not about the dollars gained from selling the rest, its knowing that someone out there somewhere needs one of those trim pieces etc. for their project.
Thanks again for the documents!
