Diaphragm vs. Borg and Beck.............

No, you have an aversion to things you don't understand, and you don't seem to understand that technology has improved in the last 30 years. Newsflash, it has.

And recommending a sof-lok for a street car with a stock 273 is total lunacy. The car we're talking about will at best have a "warmed up 5.9". Pretty much anything off the shelf will be sufficient. Even the clutch and disk I'm running is good for 500hp and would be totally overkill for the OP. A good old regular McLeod diaphragm clutch with an organic disk will last 100k miles in the OP's car.

I have forgotten more about clutches than you will ever learn, thank you very much.

As I said, junk is JUNK at any price. BTW, I use a Sof-Lok in a DD and drive it all the time. So does my wife.

If it's a stock or even a warmed over 273 then you can use a factory clutch.

As I said, a diaphram is a contraception device. That is all.

Or, if you are a cheep ***, you can make one as a pressure plate cover. That's why they are so popular. They are cheep to make, nonadjustable, and virtually worthless for anything but a stock application. Again, if it's for a stock application 273, use a stocker.

Geebus you guys love to justify spending bad money and convincing other guys to do it too.
