RustyRatRod's Guide To Hot Rod Bliss

Yes, I did omit clutches, didn't I?

Same theory. Avoid the stupidness of a race bred clutch in a street car. Even if you are gonna blow it out at the strip only a couple of times a year, a good brand NEW clutch kit is the way to go.

When I worked at the transmission shop, we use LUK brand clutches and had great success with them. I knew about them before, but had never used one. I have one in my F250 now and it works fine.

They are made both in the US and Europe. Very high quality and affordable. I also like Zoom (Perfection) products. They too are made in USA and also Asia. I have run the Centerforce stuff before, but had a weight come off and destroy a clutch and bellhousing in a Chevelle I had years ago. I have read where this is a recurring problem these days with Centerforce.
That's good stuff, it's about time for a new one in the trusty 'ol 65 F100 Custom Cab...I was looking at them already and you all just changed my view, I just need a good clutch and I would have wasted $ had I not read this thread. Thanks a bunch y'all.
