Description
Finding a quality clutch for your Ford Y-Block or Flathead build is challenging -- most aftermarket kits ignore these classic applications entirely. This Superior clutch set solves that problem with a complete, ready-to-install assembly engineered specifically for Ford's early overhead-valve and flathead V-8s. The 11" long pattern bolt configuration and 10-spline, 1-1/16" hub match original Ford 3-speed and 4-speed transmission input shafts, eliminating the guesswork from parts matching.
Every Superior clutch disk is hand-built in-house at MDL, ensuring exacting tolerances and flawless operation before it ships. The organic/organic facings deliver smooth, progressive engagement ideal for street driving -- no grabby, on-off behavior that makes traffic miserable. The 3-3/8" 3-finger pressure plate provides consistent clamping force with the traditional release characteristics Y-Block and Flathead enthusiasts expect, while the sprung hub absorbs drivetrain shock for quieter operation.
The kit includes an upgraded large mechanical throwout bearing that addresses one of the most common failure points in aging clutch systems. Combined with the included FH pilot bearing for proper input shaft centering, you're getting a complete release system refresh -- not just friction components. Rated at 300 ft-lbs, this clutch handles the torque output of stock and mildly modified Y-Block and Flathead engines without the harsh engagement of race-oriented setups.
This is a Performance Proven product that has survived the rigorous challenges of racing on and off the track. Made in the USA and backed by MDL's 1-year free-from-defect warranty.
