Building a 0 mileage warranty 340 shortblock

Clutch technology has come so far in 40 years it's not even in the same universe. Sadly, that comes with a price. If you're lucky 2k will get you a sintered iron disc, an adjustable pressure plate and an aluminum flywheel. That's another thing. The heavy FW should be a museum piece. All it does is beat the hell out of the tire.

The options (for me) aren't very good. Most guys have went to the diaphragm PP but I'm not a fan as you can't adjust it. Although one possible option is to call McLeod and see if they will build you a B&B/Long cover and use the best rag disc they have with 2200-2600 pounds of base pressure (depends on car weight) and live with replacing the disc every 75-100 runs. You could also call Cale at Black Magic Clutches and see if he will do you up a PP like that that has some adjustment to it. Of course, at that point, the costs are going to be close a sintered iron disc deal and that's much more reliable, uses much less plate load (I'm at about 875 pounds for driving on the street and at the track I'll knock it down to about 625 and a small amount of counterweight) and will last longer.

Did you really just suggest TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS for a clutch? And I guess you want him to dump Torco all over it, too.
