clutch differences between 87 and 93 F series
so, heres a little back story for you all
i used to have this cool old daily driver beater, 87 F150, 300, 4 speed 2 wheel drive. thing was literally fireproof. (another days story) i noticed the head gasket was out of it, was buying parts to pull the six out, give it a refreshening, and when i went to pull the bellhousing bolts, i noticed the frame was trash. My truck was an organ donor, so it went on to save many other trucks.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago. i traded for a 1993 F350, 2wd, 351W, 5 speed. the thing has to be a total slug, being a 4 door longbox with a small block, but whatever. the clutch is toast, barely made it on the trailer. So, im not going to tear into it immediately, but i got to thinking, "i ordered a new Centerforce clutch for the old Farm Truck" sure enough, sitting on the shelf was a new centerforce clutch, an 11 inch, no box anymore.
So, the question of the day is, will an 11 inch clutch that was for an 87 with a straight six work for a 93 with a 351?

i was tryingto poke around and see if the factory part numbers would cross, but i seemed to be running around in circles.
thank you for the info, i was 90% sure that it would, but i wanted some verification.
As forthe flywheel, i learned that lesson many moons ago, a 302 flywheel on a 351W. That thing shook like bloody hell.

this is also my typical method, but it didnt pencil out for me, because most half tons only ran a 10 inch clutch from the factory.
