Default Bellhousing Question

I hope that someone can help me. Ihave a 89 5.0 LX that has a stock transmission in it. I am looking to buy a Lakewood bellhousing. On the Lakewood site it lists three different housings, #15201, 15202 and 15203. Which one is the one that would be for my application?

Thanks

1. Bellhousing will have to be indexed.

2. Lakewoods are notorious for being way off and taking a lot
of tinkering to get indexed just right.

3. Get a McLeod instead.
They install much easier.

I've installed both. The McLeod bolted right on and was in tolerance.
The Lakewood took better part of a day screwing with offset dowl pins to get just right.
