Post 3.6 engine to 915 trans...

OK, looks like I'm buying a 3.6 Euro motor to drop into my race car. I'm planning on going with either a Motec setup with TWM throttle bodies or maybe Electromotive Tec 2. Anyway, what problems will I run into mating the 3.6 with a 915 trans? Will the dual mass flywheel and 3.6 clutch assy mate? Or do I need to go with some sort of hybrid clutch/flywheel/pressureplate? Is there an adapter plate that's preferred over others?
Thanks for the input !

Are you or have you been looking at the 3.6 on Ebay?

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1828649221&r=0&t=0" target="_blank">3.6 1991 with 40k miles</a>

I was thinking of taking a closer look at that engine myself. If the price stay's right...

Ingo,

No, I was not aware of this 3.6 on e-bay. I'm looking at a long block without the induction system for a full race motor.
