Most B&B clutches use 3 flat fingers with roller fulcrums yess will work with 833 as that is what i been using the other options are diaphram and Long style Diaphram is exactly that a slightly cone shape that flexes to release and engage Long style is also 3 finger but usually long skinny 3 fingered and uses cantelever to engage and disengage

Borg & Beck are standard equipment in Mopars for the most part , FWD & Deisel are different , a factory belhousing will be fine if you can find one , small blocks aer easier to get , a Mcleod blashsheild will work also & Keisler has a decent big block bel too

A B&B is the best setup and the only reason to run a diaphram would be if you wanted to reducce pedal pressure for your wife or daughter ...I dont recommend it . As far a belhousing I run a Anson scattersheild with block saver...I dont think they are available any more so either one of the ones CP mentioned or a Lakewood ....I'm not a big fan of stock cast iron bellhousings (if you ever saw a flywheell go thru one you would understand )

I too have the B&B setup and left it.
My left leg is now stronger than the right, but it is superior.
