Hy Still learnin, It looks like you have a good grasp of some of the tricks to swap the engines. Yes the damper will interchange, but make sure it takes some effort to install it on the newer engines crankshaft, otherwise it will work its way off. You can transfer the bellhousing, flywheel and clutch assembly from the old to new engine and as you mentioned if the new engine was from a automatic car then there may not be a clutch pilot bushing in the back of the crankshaft. If you intend to convert to twelve volts at some point you have a choice to make, you can keep your six volt starter and flywheel, or you could change to a twelve volt starter and flywheel 168 teeth versus 139 teeth if I'm remembering correctly. Your six volt starter will survive just fine on twelve volts providing you don't have to do prolonged cranking to get the engine to start, hope that helps.
