The 56 is probably a PowerFlite.  The 270 and 241 have the same block bolt pattern.  So, the torque converter housing will bolt to the engine.  I'm not sure of the crankshaft bolt pattern.  Maybe someone else can clarify that.   If I recall correctly, the '56 would have push buttons for gear selection.  You would have to be creative to find a gear selection mechanism that is compatible with the '53 column and/or dash.  A 55 PF would have a lever rather than a cable.

 

the driveshaft will need modification for length I think also.

 

I have transplanted a pushbutton and cable mech into other bodies.  but it isn't easy.
