I have helped numerous guys with this swap it is pretty EZ with this kit.
https://butchscoolstuff.com/52-53-fo...t-kit-2501cpb/ Since you have a Ford-O-Matic car it can easily be hooked up to a Ford AOD using a Lokar shifter lever. Here are some pictures showing the mounts on the drivers side and passenger side the Ford AOD transmission will sit right on the factory '52-'53 cross member by just redrilling two holes. The last two pictures show Lokar Part # ACA-1807 connected to the Ford-O-Matic column and the AOD. There are several headers that will clear the steering box nicely with no alterations needed the ones in the picture are HEDMAN 88400's, that's if you use a 302 aka 5.0 the 351W is wider and those can't be used. If you have more questions feel free to message me.
