For rear wheel drive to mate to a type 9 you need a 1.4 or 1.6 flywheel which has a much lower moment of inertia than the 1.8 flywheels.

Be careful with using an earlier (larger) 1.8 flywheel as they don't fit inside many of the RWD bell housings. Whilst I don't know the date, at some point IIRC all the engines used the same size flywheel.
