Chuck,

Give me a ring tomorrow and I will give you all of the part numbers we use. We don't use the double disk, but I don't think you need it.

We can give you all the part numbers you could ever need.

The dual friction clutch on the 427 works very well. Give us a call.

Chuck,
I f you are making over 500 H.P. you might consider an aluminum flywheel since you will want to transfer H.P. and less torque to the gears. Hayes makes a nice competition clutch for road race(talk to dave at ext.312) if you don't mind a hefty peddle push. Steve

I was worried about what clutch to use with a lot of HP. I am using a Quartermaster setup. Flywheel, clutch, pressureplate is 18 lbs. Good to 800 HP. Distributor is Levy Racing

Chuck, I have the quartermaster setup that Bart just referred to. It is more of a race set up. The clutch will slip just a bit and then bites. Also, because the clutch is smaller, 8 inches, the clutch pedal is stiffer than you might like. But it is awesome on the track. Scott.
