Default 10.5 inch King Cobra with a 11 inch fly wheel?

Can I use a 10.5 inch King Cobra clutch that I already bought with an 11 inch fly wheel? I'm thinking yes, but I need to know because I found out my car has a 8 bolt flywheel and I think all of them are 11 inch.

I would return the 10.5 inch clutch and get an 11 inch setup. I don't think it would be very wise to try and miz and match sizes.

It seems like that piece would work, as long as it has the proper number of bolt holes.

From the reviews I have heard the King Cobra Clutch is by far
the worst clutch you can get.
Why not get a Centerforce DF clutch and be done with it
they are one of the best clutches you can get.

The Centerforce is more than double the money and I already bought the King Cobra. I've also heard good and bad reviews about the king cobra. But I don't plan on putting gobs of power to it so I should be OK. After the PI head swap I think I'll just drive it and look for another car to make fast. Hey Darkness what the 8th digit in your vin#?

I heard good reviews on the Centerforce DF clutch it's worth it.
The King Cobra clutch is cheap and notchy I would never get it.

Today after work I called the parts dept. at the Ford dealer and he confirmed that I do have a Windsor block with an 8 bolt crank. About which clutch.... people always say you can't go wrong with Ford parts so thats why I bought the m-7560-c302 heavy duty king cobra. It is a 10.5 inch clutch but some frpp flywheels will accept either a 10.5 or an 11. I think if my flywheel is toast I may just buy the Billet steel m-6375-g46. I want to race it one more time this Friday before I tear into it. So, Darkness or Jeer whats your 8th digit of your vin? I want to find how rare a non pi 8 bolt is.

If you know how to drive a car the stock clutch works great. I have a stock clutch on my 400rwhp cobra with no problems. And if you have never owned a certain type of clutch don't tell someone whether it is good or bad. So with that said, the King Cobra clutch is a good clutch, especially if you've ever used the Ford Racing HD clutch kit. The King Cobra has great pedal feel and grips well.
