Default Need clutch selection advice

I am putting together a drivetrain for my BDR roller. I have a 351w stroked to 427 c.i. and expect it to put out around 520 hp and 500 lb-ft. I have the new Tremec TKO600 transmission, and I am trying to select the components to go between them. I've pretty much decided on a McLeod safety bellhousing, but I don't know which clutch to get. Ford Motorsports has something they call the King Cobra, part number M-7563-C302. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a good choice? They also have a clutch disk that they say will work with the new Tremec input shaft. (It has 26 splines instead of the usual 10.) Again, anyone have any opinions?

Finally, if I go with those, what release fork and throwout bearing should I use?

TIA

Default Clutch

I recommend you look at McLeod, they have very high quality clutch kits. I one we sell a lot (Chevy's only) is their dual performance (street/strip) 12" clutch. Very good quality and performance.

Give McLeod a call at 714-630-2764. If you were looking for a Chevy clutch we could help you out but sounds like you need Ford.

Hope it helps

Thanks Scott. I went with the McLeod bellhousing, fork, pivot stud, and throwout bearing. Then I bought the Ford cllutch disk and pressure plate. Hope they all fit together!
