Default Clutch question

Hello all
Looks like I'm going to be needing a new clutch REAL soon.
I have a 1994 I6 Ex-cab M50d trans any recommendations on parts manufactures would be appreciated.
I'm not looking for any special racing super magnum high pro special duty 3/4 race kind of a thing but I do know over the counter parts very in quality and reliability.
Just wanting to fine out what others have had good luck with. This isn't a job I like to do so I only want to do it once if I can.
Thanks
Tim C.

Just a good quality set will do you fine - it's a 6 cylinder. The parts guys at the counter can usually advise you on the options / pricing. Also ask them where to get your flywheel resurfaced. You'll have to have that done if you don't want to do it all again.

What does it being a six cylinder have to do with it? It's only 0.1 liters less than the 5.0.

Well, yeah.... just not too many six's are cammed up ported race ready machines (or get driven as if they were). So a basic, good quality clutch will probably last another 20 years.

Yeah the 300 is on 32 cubic centimeters dmaller than the 302, i buy the clutch kit and flywhell from autozone for vehicles over 8500lbs and seems to work really well. And if you have a transmission jack and all the right tools it should take less than 2 hours, i timed myself last time i did it and i finished in 1 hour 29 min and 31 seconds.
