Swapping clutches, M46-47 200

I'm converting an automatic 240 to manual. I've got an M46 I just rebuilt, but there's going to be a rather small-of-stature woman driving this car (no sexism intended), so I want to put the softer, M47 9" clutch in the car. I've got a dog dish flywheel all set to go. Will a 240 M47 clutch kit work for this swap? I know I can buy a 740t, M46 clutch kit, but aside from the price being so much higher, my recollection is that the 740t turbo pressure plate is heavy, like the 240s m46 plate. I want the lessened pedal effort of the 240 M47 plate. Has anyone done this swap?

I have a m46 and am using a dogdish flywheel. You can use whatever clutch is compatable with that flywheel. So there are a number of clutches you could use. I use a 240 turbo clutch and it has a heavy feel. The regular 240 clutch is much lighter on the pedal, but it does not have a lot of grab.

Hi Jessie, thanks for your response. It's shaping up to just use a 240 M47 clutch. Majority opinion.
