new clutch

I plan to put a new clutch on the getrag when I yank the engine out, what is best? This engine won't go past 300hp I believe since I want it very strong but pulling trailers no competition so keep that on mind. Can I just get the clutch? the pressure plate seems good since it shift smooth I just don't want to put it as it is when I had the chance to replace it.

Thank You.

I'd recommend at least putting in a new throwout bearing, machining the flywheel and pressing in the ball bearing, and reline the stock clutch disk for cheap and be good to go for another 20 years or until your throwout bearing seizes up again.

The clutch disc may be fine, I'd look at it before you change it just because it's old. A fresh TO bearing and pilot bushing is a good idea any time the trans is off, though.
