Default 97 Cobra clutch in 98 GT ????

Does anyone know if the clutch in a 97 cobra is the same as a 98 GT??
Now I know the Cobra has the 8 bolt crank and my GT has the 6 bolt so the flywheel will be different but will the clutch be the same.

I need to put in a new clutch in my GT and I have a Spec clutch in my wrecked 97 Cobra.

Your's should be an 10 1/2 but they are pretty much the same besides the bolt pattern like you said. You'll be fine swapping them.

Default Yea

Yea, I was looking at buying a Spec Stage 3 from Amercian Muscle but the part # was the same for the GT and the Cobra, Then I remembered that the wrecked car I bought had a new Spec put in it last spring. Dont know what stage it is but it should be fine, I am going to get a Spec Billet Steel flywheel too.

Default power

Around 380 now, but I was going to keep the same clutch for my 4V swap next year, after I have it built through out the year. With the charger I have and the 4V should see around 500 or better to the wheels.
