If you have both transmissions look at the input shaft assy. The 320 engine was 55 and torque converter should be one having wide splines. Assuming your 352 is the 56 GH version, then in 56 Packard changed the input shaft along with several other items and those splines are narrower and more forward. The converter assys will not directly interchange with the transmission but the entire trans assy will on the engines--although there would be differences in the cases between Packard and the GH. In addition, in 56 Packard made some running changes to the front oil pump rotor assy which required some changes be made to converter pump shaft--although I don't know if those changes also applied to Studebaker.
