There was a kit with instructions on installing a later service engine into the earlier cars. Instructions are in one of the early 50's service counselors on site with additions and corrections a few issues later.
Point I'm trying to make is if you go to the junkyard and buy an engine off a later car equipped with Ultramatic, aside from transferring the front mount stuff and bellhousing stuff, it might not be a drop in without extra work on the block to drill and tap holes.
