Here are some pictures of the old and new clutches side by side.

There is enough difference in the plate thickness and clutch plate distance to flywheel to be a problem. Got the new clutch from O’rielly which was supposed to be for a 54.

1. Both clutches side be side
2. Old clutch distance from plate to mounting surface
3. New clutch distance from plate to mounting surface
4. Old plate side profile
5. New plate side profile
6. Plate profiles side by side

More pics
7. Side by side. Note differences in the center piece and that on the old one the plate is even with the mounting tangs and the new one is above the mounting tangs.
8. Notice the plate is higher on the new clutch vs the old one
9. Same
