Good question by Mike V. Why?
If you want to chop the flywheel and do all the other stuff that goes with it for a V8 clutch, flywheel, linkage, etc, go ahead and do it, but just to stop chattering find the problem. You might try some brake cleaner on the clutch plate, or better, the flywheel face and get the grease off of it. Spray it in through the inspection plate. Chatter is caused by contaminants on the clutch, or a bad adjustment, or a bad spring.
Bill W and the dog knows how to do this.
