89 50 sbc pressure plate size?

Ok I going to be using a v6 camaro t5 with a 89 350 sbc,using a 79 camaro bell hosuing and a special clutch to do this,but it comes in 2 sizes,11 inch and10.4inch,I looked at summit[the place that sells it]for pressure plates,since the clutch will have to fit it,so I look for an 89 sbc pressure plate both and 10.4 and 11 inch show up.

So what size pressure plate is it?also how many teeth should the flywheel use?

dont mean to spam but I just want to get started and dont want to waste anymore money on parts that wont work.

ddaves79rx uses the 10.5 inch clutch and 153 tooth flywheel,I did pm him for info but realized he uses a 70s 350,since mine is an 89 it has a different rear seal and some other different features,so I want to know If I can use the same stuff he does. so does anybody know what size pressure plate and clutch to use on a 89 350?and how many teeth the flywheel should have?

Thanks

ya, i have a pre 86 motor, so i use a 10.5" for the motor.
pre-86 is uhhhh externally balanced 10.5"
86-on is internally ablanced and 11"
pretty sure.
now what year is T5 from?
according to my notes from Grant at grannys, i am 99% sure you need a special flywheel, but i was always talking to him about my 79 motor.
you really need to call Grant at Granny's for this question. if its the special flywheel i beleive its a mccloud flywheel.

Thanks!

Hey thanks.I did get a hold of grant this morning.[after trying 10 time the last 2 days]
and he said use a 10.4 pressure plate,the 10.4 special clutch,and a 153 tooth flywheel but make sure the flywheel is for an 87 and up engine as the flywheel is balanced differently,than a pre 87 engine.

The tranny is from a 97 camaro.

Thanks for all the help guys.I dont mean to flood the board but my knowledge is limited so I ask questions,sorry if its to many.
