Description

Ford Flathead V8 owners face a real challenge sourcing quality clutch components for their classic powerplants. MDL's Superior clutch kit solves this problem with a purpose-built diaphragm pressure plate system engineered specifically for the Flathead's 10" long pattern configuration. The 6-bolt pattern divides into 3 groups of 2 bolts with 3.125" center-to-center spacing, matching correct long pattern flywheel applications.

The dual Kevlar friction material specification is the heart of this kit's performance advantage. Unlike single-surface organic clutches that fade under heat, the Kevlar/Kevlar facing combination delivers consistent bite from cold startup through sustained high-RPM operation. Kevlar's superior thermal properties resist glazing and maintain coefficient of friction even when temperatures climb during spirited driving or open track sessions. With a 400 ft-lb torque capacity, this kit handles serious performance builds without the harsh engagement characteristics of full ceramic setups.

Every clutch disk is hand-assembled at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility using precision-ground components. The sprung hub design absorbs driveline shock while maintaining positive engagement, protecting both the transmission input shaft and the flywheel from impact damage during aggressive shifts. This isn't a mass-produced part - each disk receives individual inspection before packaging, ensuring the tolerances and quality that Flathead builders demand.

Compatible with Ford Flathead V8 engines equipped with the 10" long pattern flywheel configuration and 10-spline input transmissions. The pressure plate bolt pattern must match your flywheel specification for proper installation. Designed for mechanical clutch release systems.
