Default clutch for a 93 mustang 2.3

i am looking to get a new clutch and was wondering what clutch i should get and if ones that i found whould fit?
i found an svo stage 4 clutch for $264.50 on ebay for buy it now and was wondering if it would fit and if it was a good price. heres the link eBay Motors: 2.3 ford STAGE 4 Racing clutch Xr4Ti SVO turbo TC 2300 (item 110275330354 end time Nov-26-08 18:43:12 PST)

i also found a 2.3 non turbo stage 3 clutch for $229.00 and was wondering if this would work with a 2.3t motor or would the motor fry it and if it was a good price? Heres the link eBay Motors: 1987-93 FORD MUSTANG 2.3L 5SPD NON TURBO STAGE 3 CLUTCH (item 190254316976 end time Nov-22-08 11:22:19 PST)

You don't need that much clutch. To boot, you won't like the way it will drive with.
Contact Hanlon Motorsports in the St Louis area and tell them your needs. They are good people to work with.

Navy SVO is right! You don't need that much clutch. Here's what you want.......................
RAM Automotive 88610 - RAM Premium Replacement Clutch Sets - summitracing.com

I have one of these behind my '86 TC and couldn't be happier. I also just ordered one last night for Thunderstang. I should be in the 300 hp range and I'm sure this clutch will hold up to any abuse I might throw at it.

Both trannys are the same. The only sizing issue you have to worry about is will the pressure plate bolt up to your existing flywheel. If I read your post correctly, you're going to install the clutch now on your stock '93 motor and sometime in the future you're going to swap in a turbo motor and you would like to reuse the clutch? If that's the case, your '93 has an 8.5" pressure plate so the RAM clutch kit will fit. If you swap in a '83-'89 turbo motor, they have a larger flywheel that accepts a 9" pressure plate, so 'no' the RAM 8.5" P/P won't fit the 9" turbo flywheel. I was thinking, just swap flywheels but then you'd probably have a starter motor issue. Maybe you just want to go with this until you're ready for the turbo motor............................................. .
