Another option is using a '49-'53 Mercury flywheel. These are drilled for a B & B pressure plate, which has the same evenly spaced bolt pattern as many common OE and aftermarket diaphragm plates. The stock Ford flywheel could also be re-drilled.
Steel aftermarket flywheels are available, like the Centerforce I'm using. They comes drilled for both Long and B & B/diaphragm, are balanced, SFI certified, and about 10 lbs. lighter than a stock cast wheel.
