The i.e. heads have a combustion chamber as well as dished pistons, early carby motors have no combustion chamber in them, just dished pistons
If you just want to get a running car then just swap over all the inlet manifolds and carbies etc. it won't perform as well as a carby 1.7 as the i.e. cams have much less duration, and the static compression ratio is less on the i.e. but it should be a bit up on the std 1.5. You will need to rejet the carbies.
