Personally, I've never had the problem and I run a Fidanza billet aluminum flywheel (49-53) on my 42 Merc engine. It seems that in the case of Kube, the later setup has been in the car for many years - without any issues.
From a clutch and clutch-disc perspective, I can't see an issue. Whether it is a Borg and Beck clutch plate or a Ford Long plate really shouldn't make any difference. They both do the same thing and the throw-out bearing actuates them in the same manner.

I very much appreciate your advice as well as the advice from others.
I won't be able to inspect this vehicle until this evening. I am very eager to look at it once again and eventually figure out
exactly what I have here to work with.
Thanks guys....
