    I have a clutch and flywheel off my 64 I don't need. I'd be willing to sell them to you cheap, but shipping would be rough from 98221 to Delaware.

    The Ford 8.5" recessed flywheel can be a little tricky to find. They will usually bring over $100 on ebay. They can be re-surfaced if not chewed up too bad. The other issue you may have is the new clutch plates have a larger diameter at the spring area. You will have to have a machine shop cut a relief into the actual flywheel to accommodate for the larger diameter of the clutch plate(at the spring area). When you get your new clutch disc, be sure to check for this discrepancy---it's very minute, but I ran into this on the last 2 clutches I replaced. The other issue is you will probably not find a complete clutch kit(clutch,TO bearing.pressure plate,pilot bushing) that will work as a package. On the one I'm working on now, I had to buy the components ala carte. I know this will be the case if you have a large bearing toploader tranny---no one makes a complete kit for this setup. You may want to consider switching to a 9" setup--a bit more hassle now, but easier to deal with in the future. The 8.5" setup is becoming problematic to support. I currently run 8.5" stuff, but will probably start switching to 9" in the future.
    Good Luck   Mike
