Personally, for street duty, I like the stock AC Delco units. The stock 11" clutch for your car is still available from Delco, and should be more than strong enough for your engine.

I use the McLeod Super Street Pro. I have a mostly stock '76 L-48.

Love it.

When I received the packaged kit from Keisler for my TKO, they included a disc and pp from Sachs. Never heard of them prior to receipt.

It's been performing flawlessly. I guess they build a good product and are on my clutch radar now.

Centerforce dual friction in my 69 BB. Haven't driven it yet but I've liked that clutch in other cars.

Centerforce Dual Friction here, too. Just installed in a >450 hp small block.

VERY smooth engagement and good pedal action. Feels great. Hasn't even begun to give me any feel of it slipping or giving anything up.

At the time I installed the engine, I also upgraded the Z-Bar connections with the ball joint kit that Zip's sells. Really awesome upgrade. ZERO slack from pedal to fork.

Sachs, Luk and Valeo are the 3 major clutch manufacturers in the world, supplying the OEM.
