Engine compatibility question ?

From the All Par site, don't know if you already got the answer but,

In 1931, while competitors were buckling down for the Great Depression, Walter Chrysler spent millions to introduce a totally new Plymouth, the PA. The PA's engine remained the 196CI 4-cyl of previous years, with horsepower increased from 48 to 56. The typical 4-cylinder vibration was calmed by new strategy for mounting the engine: called "Floating Power," it was original to Plymouth, and other makers eventually paid royalties to use it. A free-wheeling mode made clutchless shifting possible.

Thanks,  The engine is a bolt in.

I might have the opportunity to pick up a good PA engine.? I was just curious if anybody knew if the PA block would bolt up to a Model U bell housing.? ?If so I might take the block just to have as a spare incase my engine went south.?? ?

As it turns out it is the new style U, so my assumption is that the Bell Housing may bolt up ???? Anyone know for sure.
