Call South Bend i am sure ther can help or carolina Clutch, both are very good and helpful. Just make sure you get the upgraded clutch fork and Kevlar pilot bearing...

I would say it depends on what you have gotten out of your last clutch. I have seen South Bend mentioned a lot, but since I got 212,000 out of my factory clutch I wasn't too worried about upgrades when I had mine replaced. If the upgrades cost any more money and you are concerned about cost spend your money on the throw out bearing. My clutch didn't actually look too bad for the mileage but the throw out bearing was my problem.

Mine was slipping bad after using a diablo, replaced it with a LUK at 164,000 and threw away the hammered stocker. New clutch is great!

I got almost 250k on my stock clutch. Actually, it was the pressure plate that wore out, the clutch still looked really good. I run Jody tunes and pull loads quite often. I put stock Ford parts back in, run me about $750 for parts.
