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...
