    302 Roller engine swap question

    Hey forum people...!

    After the 1500 mile drive for the MustangSteve Bash this year, we decided to do a 302 roller engine swap into our 66 coupe. I’ve pretty much collected everything that I need except for the pressure plate and
    10 1/2 inch clutch combination (we’re running a T5).    We’re also swapping to the MustangSteve cable clutch & power brake set up.

    For those of you who have done this swap, do you have a clutch and pressure plate recommendation?
    We’re looking at about 300 hp.

    many years ago I used a kit similar to this.  Remember is this case size does matter.  ( match to flywheel / tranny silly)

    Ford Performance 10.5" pressure plate with disc and throwout bearing $220 (bolt and dowel kit sold separately $14)

    Ford Performance cast iron flywheel $140

    You can spend more if you want, but these will get the job done nicely for a 300 hp engine.

    No need to go "super-duper-heavy duty-full-bore-throw-down-high zoot- high dollar-leg-killer.......
    I 've been using the standard 10" clutch kit from NAPA!!  Works GREAT and the price is right. I just swapped mine out right before the bash.
    The old one had been in ........9/10 years?!! Still had plenty of clutch left just changed it out because the tranny was out.
    NONE are made in the US (as far as I could find out) Soooooo all 10-inchers are about the same quality...ALL china-pena made.
    Get the lightest flywheel(steel) you can find....Some ARE lighter than others.....and  like your Dad told you...."Don't-ride-the-clutch" and you'll do fine!

    I'm using a King Cobra clutch kit only because it was free.

    I'm not a complete idiot.....pieces are missing. Tom
