Clutch and flywheel advice

[davidcam69]

About to purchase a clutch and flywheel for my soon to be 500 inch wedge. I am now running stock clutch and flywheel (11") and linkage with 18 spline trans 3.54 dana. Mostly street driven but I like performance. Thinking I should retire my 50 year old flywheel.  What do you suggest?   Thanks

Sfi flywheel for sure. Blowproof bellhousing. And ive always had good luck with the centerforce dual friction.

   Looks like I'll go with the Center Force dual friction clutch. I have a choice between a Center Force 36.200 lb or a Mcleod 30.00 lb flywheel.

   Which would you go with coonhunter?

I am partial to the centerforce. Make sure the one you choose is weighted for your application.

I ordered the CF clutch and flywheel you recommended.  Thanks

Are stock flywheels bad?

[davidcam69]

I'm pulling my original 440 out and keeping it all together. I don't think I want to take a chance with my 50 year old flywheel. I wouldn't worry to much

with normal driving, but not taking any chances with this stroker motor.

Are stock flywheels bad?

Stock flywheels are cast, can fly apart from centrifugal force at high RPM...age makes it worse.

Never thought of that.

My recommendation. Steel flywheel, always.

And a blowproof bellhousing. Seen too many street cars scatter parts through the floor. I like my legs attached to my body.

Heard of it. Myself have not seen it. That would not be cool at all. That is some thing I would have over looked.

Youtube it.
