Default 37 Deluxe Coupe with a 11" clutch?

So, from a recent previous post you may know that I pulled my 21-stud engine and transmission from my 37 Coupe. I did this to reseal both and resurface the flywheel and replace the clutch and pressure plate. Ring gear was worn so I order a new one and had that replaced when the flywheel was resurfaced. The issue is that the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate are an 11" setup, which I now see is for a truck. (My first flathead) I know that engine was rebuilt at some point, as the crank is stamped .020 under. The transmission S/N does not match the frame S/N just FYI. After I bought the car, I did the normal maintenance items and had Skip rebuild the coil and Michael at Third Gen rework the distributor, and the engine runs great and has good acceleration even having a couple slightly lower compression reading cylinders. Also has a Columbia rear end and this thing moves along nicely at highway speeds. Should I just go back with the 11"? Or attempt to locate a flywheel for the 9" setup. After a quick search, that may be a challenge. Nate
