I'm doing the same right now, only my 1971 has no freewheel (automatic TS). Maybe its better to change the tranny also, since the older engine-transmission coupling is less durable. Watch out if you change to a post-1875 tranny. The inner-driver assembly of the newer transmissions is wider, so your 1971 axes are too wide.

Besides this, the only problem will be the location of the alternator. It will not fit on top of the B-engine in your 1971, since the hoses and heating system are placed on this position. So you need the use your old Triumph engine-mounts and place the alternator under the exhaust manifold.
