Well, they put the 6 cyl in the 560, which is nothing more than a glorified 450. They put the same 6 cyl in the 806. They also put the 361 in the 806, so you have a pattern to follow too look for parts interchanging between a few models to compare. If the flywheel in the 806 and the small 6 cyl engine, is the same back spacing from the back of the mounting plate or engine block as the 361 to the back edge of the starter ring, Id say you can use the 806/361 flywheel, but,, then there is the starter ring, and the clutch. The clutch disk will have to have the 560 splines, and match the 361 clutch diameter, Im sure one can be fitted. The starter ring,, Starter location on the 560 and the 806 is at a different location,,, but, I was thinking the late 560 had the same flywheel as the early 806. So if the small 6 cyl flywheel swap out from the 560 to the 806, then Id say the 361 flywheels starter ring location will be in the same spot as the small 6 cyl and should be perfect for the 560. Should be,,, only thing I can think of that would be different is the tooth count and the ID of the starter ring if you had to change to have the proper tooth count. Or if the 560 and the 806 starters swap out, (I dont know if they will) Then its nothing more than having a clutch disk made, making sure you have enough clearence in the 560 bellhousing so it dont rub the flywheel in any area. The 806 frame rails bolt right on to a 560, so you can make it kinda look stock, from the engine plate to the front end. You just have to get an assortment of parts to compare and measure, but it sounds simple enough.
