    You'd need the flywheel diameter to match your bellhousing. The clutch diameter to match the flywheel. Find out the external balance on a 351C and you'll be good to go.
    2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.

      For the clutch you'll also have to find out the size of the trany's input shaft and it's spline count and match the clutch disc to that info.

          If you are using the factory bellhousing and a factory flywheel, you are stuck with a 157 tooth flywheel and a 10" clutch.
          The flywheel is the early Mustang flywheel. The pressure plate is the '79-81 small 5.0 Mustang pressure plate. The SROD 10" clutch should work.

          The better ticket would be to either go with an aftermarket 164 tooth bell and the associated flywheel and clutch kit for a 11" clutch, or an aftermarket 157 tooth flywheel with 28oz imbalance that will take a 10 1/2" clutch/pressure plate.
