Hello Emanuel. According to Sutherland's sixth edition manual, this is a B*** fit,

which means: this combination works, but avoid changing back and forth between Italian and English freewheels. Not for strong or heavy riders.

In practice, this was always something I avoided, and can't recommend it.
