52 Merc hood on 54 Ford?

I am restoring a 54 Ford Customline Coupe and am adding some custom style to it. 57 Olds tail lights, Merc side trim on the 1/4 panel and such. Anyways, I picked up a nice 52 Merc hood at the wrecking yard. Will it work with the Ford body or will I need to cut the scoop out and graft it into the Ford hood? The front clip is off the car right now, so I cant mock it up. It does match up to the cowl body line, but I read somewhere that it might be too long. Thanks in advance!

 

The Mercury hood is indeed different,the Mercury is longer in the front and shaped different.

Where the '54 Ford has a filler panel between the hood and grill shell the Mercury's hood fills in this area.

I believe the fenders for the Mercury are shaped differently where they meet the leading edge of the hood & grill area. HRP

 

Won't fit. Tried the same thing 20 years ago.

 

Ok, thanks guys. Looks like this will be cut and grafted on at a later time!
