I use SPEC clutches and flywheels. They are built to very tight tolerances and not just to 'Detroit specs'. Which the engine builder I use when balancing the crankshaft verified. Many of the others listed were too far out of spec to work and when the SPEC one was given to the crankshaft balancer guy ...he was amazed on how well it worked out.
For whatever that is worth.
