Happy 4th guys!

I am in the middle of swapping a 3.2L Engine into a 2.7L 5 Speed car (the 2.7L had IMS failure). I have examined the clutch and flywheel; both are shot and need to be replaced. Since I have to order a new one (can't find any low mileage used ones), should I order the 3.2L Clutch/Flywheel combo or the 2.7L clutch/flywheel combo? I know the 2.7L will work but I didnt know if I should choose the 3.2L since the DM flywheel will likely be set up to handle those harmonics/has stiffer springs. Thanks!
