Default fitting a 10.5" clutch into a v8 t5

A question for the guru's. What would be involved with fitting a 10.5 inch clutch into a v8 t5 fitted with the std 10" one? I already have a yella terra billet flywheel drilled for the 10.5" pressure plate, I guess all I need to know is if the clutch is the same spline, any other mods needed (i wouldn't have thought so) and most importantly is it worth it?
Cheers.

u can get em for holdens. i have a 10.5 inch in mine and that is as big as your gonna get to. my clutch come from sunbury brake and clutch in vic thru ebay user name 1864 mike. i beleive its a chev clutch but same splines but mine is a 4 speed but beleive they do them for 5 speeds as well

i guess if u have thegrunt every little bit of surface area in a single plate is goin to help.i had a 10 inch rpm clutch and it was fried in under 4000kms.just coulnt hold the power.this one has done 10 000 kays and is fine
