Help me with Proton Saga cylinder heads

I have recently bought 2 BRAND NEW 1.5L short engines from Proton in the UK.
These engines do not come with cylinder head so I want to use the head from used engines which I have already in my garage. (Maybe I will get the heads rebuilt first).

Because I do not want to open a perfectly working 1.5L engine, I am thinking to use head from a 1.3L engine I have in my garage. I want to know if there is any difference between the 1.3 and 1.5 12 valve cylinder heads.

I asked a Proton dealer in the UK and they said that the head should be the same but the camshaft and valves may be different. I do not want to use 1.3 head if it will mess up my compression ratio or change the mixture/combustion of the engine, because I want this to be like a brand new engine.
Please can any body tell me if they are the same or different?

Thanks

Help Please - 4G91 into Proton Saga

I have the chance to buy a 1995 MMC Lancer (Japanese spec) with 4G91 carb engine (no ECI )

I want to buy this car so I can put the engine into my Saga. Somebody has already told me that the engine mounts are the same as 4G15. So there should be no problem there.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM.
That Lancer has Auto gearbox, which I hate.

I want to know if I can replace the 4G91 flywheel with 4G15 manual flywheel and clutch and use my original 4G15 gearbox with that engine. Are the bolt patterns the same on the bell housing? Is the shaft in the gearbox the same?

Will I have any problem with my idea? Please let me know, because this Lancer is in auction tomorrow and I will not buy it if my plan will not work.

Thanks
