Compatibility questions using '94 TBI 350 block for L98

I'm in the process of swapping all the TPI gear onto a '94 truck block for my '89 Formula 350. Everything has been straight forward so far *crossing fingers*, but I have a question for the last couple of components.

1) The flywheel from the truck motor is much larger than the L98 flywheel. Should I expect any problems, like with balancing?

2) A minor issue, but I'll mention it anyway... The oil pressure sending unit "nut" hits the truck block before it is screwed in very far. I was just going to try grinding it down until it cleared (on the sending unit, not the block).
