No, the 1300 engine's clutch is 6 1/2" diameter, the 1500 engine's clutch is
7 1/4". Whichever way you do it, you're going to need to buy some parts at
least - either the adaptor sleeves to mount the 1500 flywheel onto the
smaller bolts of the 1300, or a 21 spline 6 1/2" clutch driven plate. 
Cheers,
Bill.
