Tremec TKO 5 speed help!

Ok, so im going to be buying a tko 5 speed for my 90 crown vic with the 351. The question is what kind of bellhousing do i need to use?

I think i can figure out what clutch and flywheel to use since it tells me its a 26 spline input shaft, so obviously a 26 spline clutch disc, but if someone can tell me what diameter clutch i should be using it would be a big help.

Your flywheel is drilled for the pressure plate. Some will take either a 10 1/2 or an 11. Go for the 11.

That Lakewood bell specify that it is the correct depth for your trans?

Im buying a new flywheel, pressure plate and clutch assembly.

What ive been told thus far is that the 10.5" will work good. Would it really benefit me to go to an 11" clutch?

I had a 10.5 in a Mustang behind a 289. I'd want all I could get in your application.
