Did the 52 have the push button starter - instead of the floor mash peddle?

Just wondering. I am planning on putting a 52 car engine 216 in my 48 3100. I plan to use Woody's diagram to drill the front mounting holes. It has the key start solinoid on the starter and I was wondering how I could use a key start or a push button. I was hoping the key starter from a 52 (or some other year) would fit into the existing key starter part in the dash for the time being. This engine appears to be good so I wanted to use it. And, if this engine doesn't work out I will find a good 235.

TIA
