Sintered iron race clutch discussion (was: Pro Spyder intake?)

[Shaggy]

Jumping in hear late My $.02 I had a 351 wiht 11" clutch and hays bellhousing back in late 80's i went through hell getting all to work right sounds like some of the issues are the same to this day.Good luck Dan. and the way my headers fit to change the starter i either had to pull the header or the tranny/bell/clutch and guess which was easier...pulling the tranny was.I feel your pain Dan.

As far as the "high rev" kits for Hyd lifters they work great but i did it to the above 351 and was spinning it to 7200 the big drawback was with the big mains in the Windsor my bearings did even last one full season when i rebuilt it i started shifting lower 6500 and the motor then lasted me 2 years before i sold it all to go back to old fords and street cars mainly for the same reasons Dan has stated above lots less headaches just put the key in and go.
