Yep ... the 3-main "B" flywheel can be substituted without
modification provided your fitting the "B" clutch components
... fitting the "A" pressure plate will require rework to
compensate for the variance in the locating pins/dowels.
The 3-main "B" flywheel is quite a bit lighter than the "A"
flywheel, and the "B" clutch components are superior ...
so this is a popular swap.  See Barney's "Excellent" web
site for details ...

The 5-main "B" flywheel would require extensive modification
given the variance in the number and pattern of the crank
bolts/studs.

Later ...
