Default Are FBody clutches useable in a C5?

Question:

Which Fbody clutches will install into a C5. I think Spec and LS6 clutches will work in either car, please confirm Do Ram, McLeod, Cartek, or any of the other brands work on both platforms?

Thanks!

Craig

They are the same clutch systems. What fits one will fit the other. Just like the engine (except balancer/exhaust pretty much).

Same-same down to the part #'s. Keep in mind that the slave and master are different though.
