Why isn't this available from you guys any more? I'd really like to upgrade to a larger clutch.

It's a long story I'm not going to get into. Regardless, they are easy to find new via Google.

Fair enough. I've been reading up on the 5.0 clutch swap and there's a lot of conflicting info. If I use an adapter plate, your flywheel, and my 2.3 t5, which bell housing do I want? I think it's the fox 5.0 bell housing, but I want to be sure.

That's correct, that's the only bell that will work. You'll have to be sure to get some offset dowels and center the bell perfectly for proper function.

I haven't been able to find out if a Lakewood 15203 5.0 Mustang bell housing would work in this application? Does the conversion require a stock Fox 5.0 bellhousing, specifically?
Thanks for your time.

It should work with any bell that uses stock 5.0 bell dimensions.

Thanks for that.
When I complete the swap I'll let you know for sure.

Matt Culpepper and Bob Myers are both used aftermarket bells with theirs, I know Matt's was a Lakewood (but there are many versions so make sure it's the right one), not sure about Bob's.

FWIW, I'm using a Lakewood on mine. I found the Lakewood bell (forget the model #) to have the same depth as the SN95 bell. The SN95 T5's input shaft still reaches the pilot bearing, but I would double-check the length of a fox T5's input shaft because the extra depth of the bell plus the adapter plate may prevent the input shaft from completely seating in the pilot bearing.
I had difficulty (as always) installing the offset dowels because the countersunk holes for the adapter's fasteners weren't quite deep enough. Consequently, the fastener heads protruded about .010, which didn't allow the bell to sit perfectly flush on the adapter plate. I enlarged the holes and managed to centre the bell within .001 using a dial indicator. No problems thus far.

There are at least 5 SBF Lakewood bells so you have to make sure it's the right one.
