I don't think you'll need to remove the flywheel to get access to those two plugs. You do need to remove the bell housing. But if you do need to remove the flywheel, that will be the easy part.

The interface to the rear of engine also changed in 1961 (from 1955-60) so you can't bolt it up to earlier bell housings to get the 2 rear mounts on the bell housing.
