The short answer for the head is "Yes". But if you put one on without
doing some shaving, you will end up with a very low compression engine.
The thing to do is Calculate the compression ratio you want and shave
the head enough to attain that number.=
The flywheel is a different matter. The 1500 crank has different size
bolts than the early ones. So the holes on the flywheel are bigger
around. I tried to find shouldered bolts that would work on such a swap
but was unable to find anything that would work. I ended up using an
aluminum flywheel that has the right holes but fits the larger 1500
clutch. I got it from TSI.

Joe

Will the 1500 head and flywheel fit the 1296 Mark III small journal
motor?
