I've got my eye on a ph2 172 lump

I'm considering dropping it into my valver, I'd like to know a few practical things about the conversion

Firstly what bits bolt straight onto the Mk1 without modifications? The lump I'm looking at is a ph2 and will come with subframe, gearbox, complete hubs with brakes, arb, wishbones, driveshafts and ecu

Secondly, will I have to use standalone management to convert it to cable throttle or can this be done with a ph1 loom & ecu?

Am I correct in thinking I wont be able to use the gearbox because of the speedo drive being electronic?
