your clutch is only different because its an 11" setup, not because of the crank (Cobra's have a different crank bolt setup). The older GT's carried a 10.5" clutch. McLeod is probably considered the best all around clutch, a Spec stage 2 would treat your right also (stay away from the stage 3, not many are happy with it).

Why stay away from Stage 3?
Too heavy?
Lotta chatter?

The mechanic at Ford when I first bought the car said I have an 8-bolt crank because of VIN number which says that my car was built at the Romeo plant not Windsor or maybe reverse that. I wanna go back there but my warranty would probobaly be voided upon entrance.

Yeah McLeod clutches are nice but they cost a freaking arm and a leg, which is why so few people have them. Just get a Spec clutch because apparently they have a good reputation. If your car isn't putting out a lot of power over stock there's no point in getting a race only max grip clutch kit unless you plan on making some serious power in the near future.

Right, '99-'00 are the only GTs with an 8-bolt crank.
