Hello my name is Dan and I was hoping for a little help with suggestions for a new clutch. This is my first time suscribing to any kind of forum.
My car is a 1968 "Roadrunner" that began as a 318 automatic Satelite saved from the crusher. It now has a 470 stroker, 6-pack, 4-spd pistol grip (many parts, hood, grill, decor panel, dash,etc. came from my first Roadrunner I bought wrecked in 1977 for $270 and drove my senior year in high school).
The car has a centerforce dual friction that I haven't been real happy with. It has enough holding power but seems to take to long to re-engage during faster shifts. After I put Cal-tracs and drag radials on the car it has broken the 8-3/4 twice, the driveshaft once, and twisted the splines on a new set a Moser axles. I currently have a 2.73 open installed so I can at least drive the car while I'm saving for a new Dana 60 (just a few more weeks). Any suggestions on a new clutch for a street car that does get some time at the drags? Thanks for any help!

I don't think I've done this right, SORRY
 
Thanks, I just wasn't quite sure when I uploaded them. I promise I will get better! I think I just like working on cars more than working on computers.
 
Real nice looking '68. Welcome aboard Dan. Try upgrading that 8 3/4 from a one wheel peel and throw on a 1350 series joint. A bunch of folks around here pumping a lot more horse in their 8 3/4 than that 470 without the issues. Just gotta set it up right. Good luck
