Novak makes an adapter to sit between either the AX15 or NV3550, which covers the TJ up to 2004, and adapts it to the Ford "butterfly" pattern. If someone could confirm whether the Barra engine shares that bellhousing pattern, you'd be covered. With regards to what clutch to use I wouldn't have a clue, and I wish I had the money to try it myself! :P
