The torque tube for the 1948 is the same length as the 1950-54 PG. You would need the PG U joint and the collar that holds the U joint ball to the back of the PG. The collar for the PG has 6 bolts, the stick has 4.
Would be necessary to remove the pilot bearing from the crank shaft of the 216.
The 1950-52 PG would be the most easy to install as there is not kick-down linkage to fit.
I an not sure though of the length of the PG compared to the length of the 1948 3 speed and bell housing. The engine may end up farther forward or farther back.
The added weight on the front end would require stronger springs.
The length of the two transmissions (and bell housings would be the area that could cause the most problem.
