If you have factory bellhousings, no. Aftermarket bellhousings, like Lakewood, can accept either 10.5" or 11" clutch/flywheels, but factory bellhousings accept one or another. The 11" clutch type flywheels are larger diameter, so if you install your starter (on the bellhousing), everything will bolt up, but the starter will be too far away to engage in the ring gear on a 10.5" style flywheel.

Your options are:
a. Find a 11"-style flywheel & clutch
b. Find a 10.5" factory bellhousing (many are aluminum)
c. Find an aftermarket bellhousing (aka Lakewood or Quick Time) that accepts both a 10.5" style or 11" style. I "think" Lakewoods can go either way and all the Quick Time ones only accept one or the other...can't remember which).
