By already purchasing your own clutch you are limiting the places might do a clutch swap. Most shops will want to sell the brand they are familiar with using and are comfortable standing behind should there be a problem.
When I was young my father owned a service station that also did drag race performance work. He had a poster that said you don't bring your own ham and eggs to the diner and ask them to cook them. Then don't bring your own parts here. Just a suggestion.

I think you'll hate the clutch personally, it's overkill for a stock car for starters. And puck style clutches just are annoying. $1500 later, you'll wish you spent the extra $300 for a full face twin disk.......that being said, clutch install usually go for $700-$1000. And get a remote bleeder also. It's a must on these cars, I know it's human nature to learn the hard way,so good luck

I don't think I could charge more than 600 for a standard clutch install
May be best to drive up to the Bay area, one of the forum sponsors that has done 100 plus of the swaps
