With a 427 in a Kirkham you are more likely to experience wheelspin, rather than clutch slippage. Remember how light these cars are over the rear wheels -- standard clutch discs will bite just fine. (And if you used your alignment tool on it you can tell people it's steel-sintered)....... get it, "still centered" .
