Default Clutch? What Clutch?

How many miles should a person with a stroked small block expect to get out of a clutch? What has everybody else experienced?

Any suggestions on a new clutch brand/ model?

Thanks

Ford disc and McCloud PP.

Miles on a clutch depends on the driver. Has nothing to do with the engine, trans or underwear size.

Speaking of clutches – how are your hydraulics doing?

Ouch, that hurts. Smoke is from the tires. The clutch never slipped its whole life (very happy with the way it performed). As Sid said one of the fingers had a nut sheered off and wasn't functioning properly. The pressure plate was cracked were all three fingers were attached. I ended up purchasing a whole new clutch kit. It should arrive in the next day or two.

Thanks all for the help

Alignment is done but clutch still sucks! That is next on the project list.
