Default about ready to order

so I finally got my tuition reimbursement, so I can order my parts next week... yay!

ok, so I am doing my clutch which is going out...

here is what I am getting...
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku



should I get this pilot bearing? or should I get a ford racing one?
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...=1#Application



when I have the car in the shop, I am going to have them do the rear main seal while the trans is out, might as well, the pilot bearing, then the clutch and TOB...

I am going to have my flywheel resurfaced if it needs it...

anything else I may need to worry about/do?

edit...

what size clutch alignment tool will I need?

sounds like you got everything covered, besides the fact I would tell you to do it yourself, how much are they charging in labor?

A fellow mustanger here at my college told me of a shop about 20 minutes from my house down here... had some work done on his '97 GT... I think they did some rear end work for him or something... its one sick GT, 4v Teskid (sp?) cobra motor swap, Procharger and its also sprayed....

but I know what you mean, my mechanic back home I can trust, but down here at school Ive gotta find a good place...

I asked the land lord of my townhouse complex, and she said "your going to drop what? where? no sir, thats not allowed"

my mechanic is really good, PA inspections are only about 25-30 dollars, pass or fail, then 3 bucks for the sticker...

he only charged me 40 bucks for mounting and balancing my all 4 of my Kuhmos when I brought my pony rims to him off the car
