Yes. Personally, I'd go ahead and upgrade the crank but there is no problem with mixing-and-matching. Just remember that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Whoever this "someone" is, they don't know what they are talking about. The trans doesn't know how old the engine is - and wouldn't care if it did. All the trans cares about is how much power is being applied to the input shaft.

The engine and trans don't need to "correspond." As long as the trans bolts up properly and can handle the engine's power, you are good to go.
