Is it possible ? The way I understand its allot lighter and will give me a few more MPG and HP, Creed said he can even put a hydraulic assist like they use on strait line cars and circle track I have seen them on V8'es and they seem to be very strong. Does any of our members run one?

My clutch it still strong and doing a good job for me :happy10: Just looking to my next up grade
Thank you for ant info on this 8)

No, I just know that they are MUCH lighter and I can get rid of the heavy fly wheel bonehead...
 
Anything is possable if you throw enough money at it. Those little button clutches dont come cheap. I think on a street car would be way overkill and would be hard to drive or at least hard to get going. The stock 9" clutch is pretty light and will handle a stock or even a mild /6. An aluminum flywheel or a lightweight steel wheel would be just as effective but I dont anybody makes one that would fit an early /6.

One cheap and easy thing to do is have your stock flywheel lightened up some with a back cut. Sorry don't know much about slant clutches.

One thing though Mike is if you don't have a lot of down low power it may be a good thing to keep a little weight in that area. Don't know if you seen this thread or not but we talked about that some here.http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=96080&highlight=aluminium+flywheel

More weight helps me on the stop and go traffic lights 8)

I am sorry to, I don't have very much tec skills and my wrighting and reading is not the best :-D, Thank you and I am glad you are on board with us here :cheers:. It's great to have another Arkansas member with tec skills
 
Getting a lighter shaft will help your excel and mpg issues..

A lighter flywheel will help with the same issues.
Lighter wheels and tires will also help
 
you could built a 225 short block for $ in the triple diple dea.

aluminum fly wheel, cross drilled lightened crank, polished rods ....and a TURBO would save that 170
