I checked out Centerforce's web site, and found the following info:

Years: 1998-94
Engine: 5.2L 318 ENG. 8 CYLINDER
Clutch Size: 11
Input Shaft: 1-1/8-10
Disc P/N: 383735 - $79.95
Centerforce I P/N: CF165400 - $186.95
Centerforce Dual Friction P/N: DF735473 - $350.95
T.O Bearing P/N: N1764 - $47.95

The Dual Friction is supposed to increase holding by 90% over the stock
clutch without that much more pedal pressure. Looks pretty nice.
