If I were to do it again, this is what I would do.
1. Stay with the Push type 1985 Clutch, CF Dual Friction & 85 Flywheel
2. Buy a McLeod Bolt on release bearing
3. Stay with the 85 Clutch Master

If you use the McLeod bearing, make sure that the ZF Bell housing is the 6.125 overall thick version

What I ended up with was a new Centerforce Single Mass Flywheel, McLeod Street Clutch Disc, Stock Pressure Plate, new 1996 ZF6 part # 12455189, ZF bellhousing and yoke, new 1992 starter to work with the ZF bell housing, Dakota Digital SGI-B speedo calibrator

Anyway, here is the infor from antoher forum member that did the swap.

I did the swap a few weeks ago so drop me a note if you need help. Also I have some tunnel cutting pics I can email you, I posted them but I think the server is down
