I have a 460. It started as an automatic engine from a lincoln.
To change over to manual trans (toploader) was interesting.
I was given a new centerforce 12" clutch (free is good). Bell housing origin unknown, maybe 400m. Trans was from 69 fairlane
gt. Clutch fork mid 70's pickup truck. The fork pivot I had to fabricate. Oh, the flywheel, I bought from Summit. Hayes part number HAY-12-240. This is for 65-72 ford 352/390/427/428/429/460, With all that, one would think the ford centerforce clutch would fit. Nope. I have access to cnc machining centers. So I digitized the bolt pattern of the clutch, setup the flywheel, drilled and tapped as needed. Then sent the whole rotating assembly (ford truck crank, lincoln rods, trw forged pistons) out to the race shop for static and dynamic balancing.
Whew! Oh, had to put a 3mm spacer between the block and bell.
Good luck, Dan
