RAM makes a great 11.5/12" replacement.  Or if you're looking to get by on a budget, Autozone/Advance/etc. should have an OEM style replacement. 

I would watch about some of the other clutch brands.

Thanks for reply guys I havent checked RAM yet. Center force is most reasonable @ $432.00 mcleod is $456.00, cant get a stock and really dont want to put one in, customer doesnt want centerforce says he can hear the weights on them. I have never personally myself heard them make noise but have heard from others that they do.. I think a 12 inch out of a econoline might work looking into that or he will just have to step up and pay the money

If you don't need a provision for a lot of hp, the RAM is the best way to go....you'll be under $400 with it. 

I've had too many customers complain about the other brand that you mentioned.  Not because of noise, but because of the counterweights not doing what they were supposed to do.

I run a McLeod diaphragm, 12 inch with the Ford pattern and an 800 series disk. I absolutely love it.

I would not buy a Centerforce though, Ram is a good alternative and I went with Ram as well in my F100 to save a little dough.  I'd say let Brent set you up, he won't steer you wrong

Hard to beat a McLeod or RAM.  Two best brands, IMO.

I don't know which hole pattern FoMoCo used for a 11 1/2 clutch. It's either the Long style hat or diaphragm. I tried an 11" RAM with the Long hat and killed it in one season of mud drags. Drilled the flywheel for a diaphragm pattern and put in a 12" Centerforce Dual Friction and it's hung in there for 3 seasons now. It's really quiet at 7000 rpm. Can't hear the weights at all.
