My cuda is done, so it's time to work on the wagon. The engine is my procharged lowdeck, cnc e-heads, hyd roller cam, ect. I just picked up a hemi 18 spline 4-speed to put behind this. I'll be running a 69 11 inch bellhousing and flywheel. This is mainly a street sleeper, dog dish steel wheels, street tires and such. What's the best clutch package to hold this? I really don't think I'll need the dual disc, since it's not going to see slicks.

That 12" unit that Mcleod makes will work well.You can get all the parts from Jamie at Passon Performance.

No slicks on mine, but I went with McLeod Street Twin anyway. Its good for like 1000hp. At least thats the info I got from the tech at McLeod 8 years ago.

If you have room for the big 143 inch flywheel then get the big 12 inch clutch that Mcleod sells. It is basically a Viper unit that fits a 143 tooth flywheel. It is good for about 600 ft-lbs of torque but it isn't a racing clutch, so no power shifting if you want it to last.

I used a McLeod street twin and a hydraulic throw out bearing setup. No Z bar issues. Nice clutch pedal feel.
