Description
Finding quality replacement clutches for vintage Ford Flathead V8 engines has become increasingly difficult - Ford used multiple clutch patterns including 9.5", 10" Long, 11" Long, and 11" equidistant depending on horsepower and application. This Superior Series 10.5" clutch kit solves that problem with a 10" Long pattern pressure plate featuring an 11-5/8" bolt circle, delivering modern materials and engineering to your vintage drivetrain.
The Kevlar/Steel Back Organic friction material delivers the best of both worlds - the smooth engagement characteristics of organic material paired with the durability enhancement of kevlar reinforcement and steel backing. This combination provides excellent heat dissipation while maintaining consistent pedal feel throughout the disc's service life. The diaphragm pressure plate design offers lighter pedal effort compared to traditional three-finger clutches while providing more consistent clamping force across the disc's surface.
Each clutch disc is hand-built in MDL's facility, ensuring quality control that mass-produced units simply cannot match. The sprung hub design absorbs driveline shock and provides smoother engagement - critical for preserving vintage drivetrain components. This kit works with both mechanical cable and hydraulic release systems, making it compatible with original Ford setups or modern conversions.
Rated at 300 ft-lb of torque, this Performance Street Plus kit handles mild performance builds while remaining streetable for daily driving. Made in the USA and backed by MDL's 1-year free-from-defect warranty and lifetime technical support.
