Hey guys, I'm picking up a worked over 360 this weekend( he estimates 400hp), it has a fresh flywheel, and I have a great looking Borg and Beck style preasure plate( surface looks great) I pulled off a 73/74 360 I got and sold that only had 500 miles on it. Question is, what would be a good clutch disk to put in using these parts. I would love to buy a whole new setup like a centerforce but dont know if its in my budget right now, so just looking to use the parts I have and throw in a new disk.

Its a 74 360 with 10:1 KB forged pistons, a racer brown 238 duration and .050 and .485 lift cam with ported and polished heads( 2.02/1.60), a Holley strip dominator ( may swap to RPM Air Gap) and a 750 DP Holley, going into a 72 Duster with close ratio iron 4 speed hooked to 8 3/4 rear with 3.91 sure grip and 325/50-15 DOT street slicks. Am I asking for too much from a Borg and Beck style presureplate with this setup? I was told this motor with a bigger cam went 12.20's in a 68 Corronet with 4.56 gears, but its been tamed down with a smaller cam to make it more streetable.

What do you think?

I just noticed that you mentioned the borg & beck PP has 500 miles on it, this is the cridical time of proper break-in, just remember it was seated to another disc., I would strongly recammend having it lightly resurfaced so it can mate to the new disc, ask the disc manufacturer what they think before installing it, they may say its fine, but they may not. Nothing worse then installing a clutch set-up (especially with an exspensive disc) only to have it start chattering 1000 miles later

This is the "style" disc i used, it'll work great with what you have. This might be the one for your app.
