Description
Ford Y-block and Flathead V8s deserve a clutch that matches their classic character while delivering modern reliability. This MDL Superior clutch set is purpose-built for these early Ford engines, using the correct 11-inch Long Pattern bolt spacing (3-3/8-inch) to bolt directly to your existing flywheel. The diaphragm pressure plate design provides smoother pedal effort and more consistent clamping pressure than the original three-finger clutch systems these engines came with.
The organic/organic friction facings are engineered for street driving, cruising, and daily use - delivering progressive engagement without the harshness of racing compounds. The 10-spline x 1-1/16-inch disk uses a sprung hub to dampen drivetrain shock and reduce chatter, exactly what you want in a street-driven classic. With a 300 lb-ft torque rating, this clutch handles the output of stock and mildly modified Flathead and Y-block combinations with confidence.
Every MDL Superior clutch disk is hand-built in-house, not mass-produced overseas. This allows MDL to control quality and maintain exacting tolerances that off-the-shelf clutches simply cannot match. Each assembly is checked and double-checked for accuracy before shipping, so you receive a ready-to-install component right out of the box. The Performance Proven designation means this clutch has been validated in real-world applications - on the street and at the track.
This complete kit includes everything needed for installation: diaphragm pressure plate, organic-faced clutch disk, mechanical throw-out bearing, Y-block pilot bearing, and clutch alignment tool. Designed specifically for mechanical clutch actuation systems. Made in the USA and backed by MDL's 1-year free-from-defect warranty with lifetime technical support.
