The summit racing catalog lists 3 or 4 manufacturers of clutches for sbc/bbc engines. Each manufacturer lists 3 different strengths of clutch kits. Frequently, a stock replacement clutch, a higher clamp force clutch, and a double disc clutch. I got a stock replacement Ram clutch for my 350. It worked excellent.

Pay attention to the spline count of your input shaft when ordering.
Yeah I was for some reason thinking flywheel diameter rather than disc. I was a bit off. After some research I found that the largest factory unit was I need 12". The severe duty utch added ceramic buttons. Sorry for the bad or info but like I said done quote me on that one.
