V8 engine with V6 T5, Need clutchplate, Help

I have an 84 camaro with a 2.8 V6, i already have a v8 and i want to put it in, What do i have to do to use a v8 with a v6 T5 transmission?

I know I have to use the v8 bellhousing but i need a 10.5 inch clutchplate with a 14 spline center.

Where do I find one?

I didn't know you could use a 9 inch clutch plate with a 10.5 inch flywheel and pressure plate. i talked to someone and the said it would slip easy.

It works fine, the early V6 one is 9 11/16, i ran one for quite sometime, however bay city can build you one the proper diameter which is what im running now.
