I wonder if any of you guys Stateside can advise on the maximum torque/hp that can be put through a standard Mustang clutch.
My GTD40 has a bell-housing large enough to take the standard flywheel, clutch plate and cover and I have only a 1966 289 with no mods except for a 600CFM Edelbrock carb and 1.75 exhaust headers therefore currently low power and o problems to date!
I wanted to know how far I can tune the engine before the clutch would slip. I'd rather not have to re-balance the bottom end, just put on some decent heads, inlet manifold and cam.
If I have this right from my notes, the clutch driven plate is a F4ZR-7550DA and the clutch cover a F3ZR-7563BA if this means anything to anyone.
Help gratefully received.
Regards
David C
