Parts store, I'd think. Pretty sure the 4-cyl Mustang used the same clutch

All naturally aspirated 2.3's use a smaller diameter clutch than the turbo cars used. 9" versus 9.25" for the turbos, if memory serves me correctly. Make sure you get the right one at the parts store. Same for the flywheel.  IF you need a new one, make sure it comes drilled for the bigger turbo clutch. They sell OEM quality replacements. Now might be the time to step up to something a little better.  I know LUK makes a budget minded replacement.
