Also consider that T1 isn't alway the same.  IRS vs. non-IRS is obvious.
There are less obvious issues...

For example, clutches and TOB are not compatible '70-down and '71-up on
a T1.  They added a new method of alligning the TOB.  ((I wasted a day
on that one last weekend... doing a "simple" engine swap))

I have also been told that '73+ the transion was made from 4:12 ring and
pinion to 3:88 ring and pinion.  I barely understand what this means,
but basically higher top-end speed.  With a strong engine, the 3:88 is
more desired...
