Default Ford 289 - 5 Bolt Flywheel/Clutch and Plate

Hi Guys,

Wonder if anyone can help and give advice to me , as I am currently tearing my hair out!

Will be running a 1963 - Ford 289 (5 Bolt Block).

Not sure which rear end yet (it will be Jag but cannot source a 3.31 so it will probably be a 3.58)

Engine will be stroked to 331ci with BHP output around 400+.

It looks like, I will be using a TKO 600 (26 spline), purely because of my preferred gear ratios, but I am sure a TKO 500 (10 spline) would handle the Torque just as well.

The problem is when you start to look into this the options appear to be limited?

10.5'' Disc and Diaphragm Plate sounds easy enough, but I cant find one. If you want 10 spline there is plenty, but if you have to go 26 spline then options are limited to kits in excess of $1000!

OR have I got it completely wrong??

Any solutions /comments welcome, as always

Thanks

David





The Flywheel will be a RAM 1527
