Hi all. I am getting ready to buy a clutch for my 289 engine. The engine is built to produce about 300HP (or just a bit less), so I am guessing I'll need a clutch rated for more than stock power. I e

The Tiger engine, clutch and transmission are all Ford parts. There is nothing special about the Tiger clutch. The difference is whether you have a 5 bolt engine or a 6 bolt engine block. The 5 bolt

I'm happy with my 10" centreforce 2. Had lots of positive feedback from the list a couple of years back which is why I chose it. Very nice feel - easy and smooth - and I track the car and drive it ha

Thanks for the information. I noticed nobody talked about the McLeod or Ram clutches. Are the Centerforce clutches better than these for some reason? Thanks. Mauro B382001355LRXFE ___________________

Seeing as the Tiger is probably the lightest vehicle that the small block was ever put in, just about any pressure & clutch plate would work just fine. Jerry Christopherson 9473187 Thanks for the inf

Well the AC Cobras and TVR's were probably a fair bit lighter... but i think clutch life largely depends on how hard you are leaning on the car and how you take off from the lights.. if driven normal

Thanks. I agree about other cars (TVR and Cobra) weighing less than the Tiger. I understood that Jerry was probably thinking of classic American cars that also used the SBF, like Fairlane, Galaxie, F

Yes, the clutch can be replaced without removing the engine. During my "no money " college days, I replaced the clutch in my driveway, by myself, lying on the ground. The shifter and linkage must be

Hello. My 289 engine will only give me about 300 horsepower the way it is built. I really do not plan to race this car because, personally, I don't consider the Tiger chassis to be a very agile or re

Hi Mauro, Don't forget that 300 horsepower is double what the original 260 put out. In that situation, the best place for an original cast-iron flywheel is inside the box that your new steel flywheel
