I know that a large cap dizzy from say an '87 2F will work in an older 2F (or possibly F) as long as you have the "dented" side panel from the newer 2F's. Will the same setup work if I use a large cap dizzy and coil from a 3FE?

Yes it will fit but you would need the ECU for the 62 or 80 series to read it at least depending on which model it came out of.
There is the option of maybe a Mega Squirt or as I have on my 2F a Wolf V500 ECU that is stand alone and then you can do this. No rota button or dizzy cap, triple coils and wasted spark.
I am the one doing the megasquirt other than that my setup is the same as Matt's for the ignition system. You will also need the rod cover with the dent in it to fit it.
Everything Marshall says is correct except for the the 3rd statement. Without the ECU reading the reluctor rings to determine the degree of the engine in connection with engine load adjusting the coil firing, you would essentially be running a dead distributor that wouldn't adjust anything. You would still get 6 sparks per rotation.
