engine swap
I am going to replace an 85 12a with an 81-83 12a 6-port. I noticed the flywheel was a little different along with the clutch. I want to use my original tranny. Will I need to swap flywheels to make this work? I already have a new clutch kit for the 85, so will I just have to get one for the 81-83 flywheel. Has nayone sone something like this? I was told that everything would switch over bur like I said the flywheels and clutches are a little different.
Thanks,
Todd

It must be an 82 or earlier because the clutch doesn't look as heavy and diameter a few mm smaller. It also doesn't have the alignment pins like the 85 has on the flywheel. You don't think it work swapping flywheels or would I run into trouble? Is there anywhere I can check the serial # on the engine for year?
