Tremec TKO vs 3550

Hi Bob - I am building a 302 - 325/350 HP.

As I understand it, the 3550 is a bit less expensive, the TKO is more $$, but heavier duty.

Is the 3550 sufficient for my application?

I also understand the input shafts are different splined - the TKO using a 28 spline GM input and the 3550 using a Ford input shaft - I am unsure of the # of splines. Is this correct?

If so, how does the GM spline with a GM clutch disk mate up to a ford flywheel? Which pressure plate would you use with this combo with the TKO?

My motor came from an auto trans car. Can you confirm I would need this piece? -

Thanks in advance...luke-44
