I was thinking about the LUK clutch kits also . Its a German company affordible price. I guess for street driving they would be ok. Not needing a race clutch and at my age I need something easy on the left leg. Might give one a try.

Guys,

What would you recommend or have an opinion on, as to which pressure plate, clutch disc and flywheel I should consider using with my 327/M20?

There are so many choices out there from total economy from Carquest all the way on up to high performance (high cost) from summit. I do want something at least fairly strong and long lasting.

I'm looking at a 10 1/2" as it won't be a real performance setup, and my bellhousing is for the smaller flywheel.

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Mark




I just ordered the LUK Mark. I'll let you know how it looks. I should have it after lunch today.

The braces are available for big & small block.  The small block brace is much longer than the big block brace.   I'll see if I can post some photo's.

 I grabbed these images from ebay.  The first image is the small block one.
