Puting in a new clutch.
My 89 f-250 351 5.8L needs a new clutch. A good friend of my Dad's is a very expierienced mechanic says if I get the parts he will help me install it which is pretty awesome for me. He told me to get a Borg-Warner clutch and a new slave cylinder. Does this sound right. Im not second guessing him i just want to know what you guys think as far as clutches go. he also said to get a one piece clutch, not two. Whats the difference?
Also, I was tellign some kids at school about my truck and they wanted to know if it had a Windsor or Clevaland engine in it. How do you tell?

I purchased the Luk kit from them and am very satisfied.
Their kits include the throwout bearing, pilot bearing and some kits
include the the tool used to center the clutch disk while you tighten the pressure plate.
If you have the Mazda M5r2 trans. the slave cylinder is mounted on the
transmission input shaft front bearing support plate so you should replace the slave cylinder while you're doing the clutch.
Carolina Clutch also sells the slave cylinder.
Your 351 was manufactured in Windsor, Onterio Canada.
