Doc, Flywheel issues will be had. You'll need to find a newer flywheel and bolt it to the older engine. Use the early flywheel bolts with a spacing collar around them to seat the 1500 flywheel (I can't remember who sells them...spit bits maybe?). Then just make sure you use the right clutch friction disc for the gearbox and the right pressure plate for the flywheel.
