Clutch/Flywheel advice

Also look into the Hayes and Ram units.
I personally think with a BBC car, Centerforce units are weak.

I have had a 11" Hayes "Street & Strip" diaphram clutch in my Chevelle since 1988 and it still works great.

Thanks for the input. I have used a centerforce with good results on an LT1 but didn't know if it would stand up to the big block.

Don't get fooled by pedal effort. I run one behind a Yenko clone thats a 427/550 dyno'd and never made it slip with radials. Never used slicks or with mini tubbed ford 9" though. That could make a difference.

don't do it... the product is weak. We had to change one out of the L-72 Corvette.

Anyone running a McLeod clutch? Or have any opinions on it or other brands? Sorry for all the questions but I really want to pick the correct clutch and do this job once.

I've had a McLeod clutch for years in my 68 Camaro. It's has a fairly stock 396/325 engine with a M20 and 3.07 posi. I haven't run it down the strip much and I haven't tried the others. McLeod is fairly local for me so I can take it down there if I'm having problems and they're fix it right there. I'm happy with it for the street but it does need a strong left leg.
