I'd go with a stock 40 thru 48 Ford pressure plate and disc.

The 47 engine originally came with a flywheel that takes the 10-in clutch. A 40, I believe, originally came with a 9-in flywheel & clutch. So, it depends on which flywheel is there. If you are looking for opinion, I'd choose the 9-in, only because I'm biased. I've got two cars, one each 9-in & 10-in. Both work ok. Your call. JMO

 

The pressure plate and disc will depend upon the size of the flywheel pressure plate bolt pattern. If your engine came from a truck most likely it has an 11" pressure plate bolt pattern. If your engine came from a car it most likely has a 10" bolt pattern pressure plate. The 11" clutch is a little big for that light car so hope that you have a 10"' car plate. Stock parts are sufficient for your application and can be purchased at any of the old Ford car parts suppliers.

 

Guess there are good folks who can still help, even if the user name isn't traditional.
