I went with a McLeod that I purchased through Brewers. Haven’t had any issues with it.

I went with this kit specifically, my motor is close to stock so it fit my needs.

Which style of pressure plates are yall using? The very tired one that's in my car car now is the Borg&Beck style, going back with the Diaphram style, kinda curious how it will do

I use a rxt mccleod twin disc clutch. 500 cubic inch strokes and have had no problems with it holding

Sammy did you have the fly wheel cleaned and surfaced. Just asking.

I also ran an RXT twin plate unit from McLeod, no issues with it. The difference in pedal feel is amazing. Had a centreing issue with the bellhousing that pretty much destroyed it, so Ive now gone with a custom twin plate setup from Western Clutches, local mob here. It is even better than the McLeod unit, but also a fair bit pricier.

No.... it was a new flywheel..Never thought about it

I’m running a centerforce diaphragm behind my 6bbl and 18 spline, 3:54 rear. It’s a great setup, tho some may not like the diaphragm style, I find no problems.

Looks like a really stout diaphragm clutch plate. That should do the job fine.

It is all function of car weight, power, gearing, that determine clutch plate pressure needed to make it work and more importantly, live more than a couple months. More pressure needed means more leg strength to make it work. Once past a certain point, twin disc clutch is useful to save your leg

Bought it from Mancini because they’re only about an hour away from me. I did buy all the other rebuild stuff from Brewers, because Wayne helps me on a lot of stuff, and I sell all my extra 4 speed stuff to him. Everybody got a piece of cake from me, and I got a sweet setup!
