Clutch & Pressure Plate—Interchangeable b/t years and W55/W58?

I found the perfect gearbox at a local salvage yard. It was marked as having been pulled from an 80's Supra. The gear shift lever was exactly 18" from the front of the transmission (behind the bellhousing, that is). It came with a 2 month warranty too.

Last question—What is the largest diameter Toyota clutch that will work with the W5* transmissions, i.e. 21 spline/1 3/16" diameter disc spline? So far, the largest I have found is for the Tacoma (which is sold as the Hilux in other parts of the world), some of which measure 9 7/8" diameter. I've also heard that some Daihatsu commercial trucks used the W5* transmissions, and have large diameter heavy duty clutches, but I have not been able to confirm this. I found a Centerforce brand clutch made for the Supra, with a 21 spline input, put the input diameter was listed as smaller than the standard 1 3/16".

Thanks again for the help.
