Swapping out V6 T-5, putting in a V8 T-5

Okay guys, I'm in dark territory now.

I have searched for hours through this forum and I can't find anyone going this way. Plenty of people trying to put V6 T-5s into their V8 cars but I am doing the opposite. I am also having a tough time with the "search" option because when I put "T-5" in it keeps telling me that there is nothing found!

I've got a TKOPerformance modified T-5, the V8 engine will go in later, but I want to drive the car while I get the rest of it ready for the V8. I've got lots of suspension and rear end work first, though.

I know that the spline count is different. I would like advice on where to get a small outer diameter clutch disk that I can use for my V8 tranny while its behind my V6. I may even want to turbo it or something....

I will be back from Afghanistan soon and I'd like to have that clutch disk waiting on me when I get back so that I don't have to wait on any specialty parts to be made...

Thanks for the help guys!!

Re: Swapping out V6 T-5, putting in a V8 T-5

2006: I ended up getting one from Fort Wayne, Indiana, since my brother in law lives nearby and could pick it up from his favorite clutch shop on his way home.

2012: The custom clutch is still going strong, BUT, I'd like a good aftermarket piece for the future turbo engine. Any ideas on where to get a good one? I still have the small diameter V6 disk with the V8 1 1/8" 26 spline center. I live in Florida now, so I'm not going back to Indiana for a clutch disk hahahha. They don't do mail order anyway...
