Hi,
I've got a Ford 302 and have just fitted a Getrag gearbox.
I believe you can get the clutch and pressure plate from Real Steel and maybe the fork and release bearing too.
The bellhousing is related to your flywheel. There is a 157 tooth and a 164 tooth flywheel. Get the wrong pair (as I did) and your starter won't engage the flywheel (or possibly worse!). My original setup had a 157 tooth flywheel on a bellhousing suited for a 164 tooth flywheel.
Just be cautious (check exactly what you are buying) as you purchase your parts and you'll be fine.
Cheers...
