I need some advice here guys. My engine/ transaxle came out of a ’67 Formula 5000 car, and after reading some of the threads on this forum, I’m starting to get a bad feeling about my clutch. It’s a dual disk type, stamped “SHEFFIELD” and the disks measure 7 ½ inches in diameter. From what’s been said around here, I gather this is pretty much a race only clutch, but I haven’t been able to find anything on the manufacturer, so I don’t really know. The engine is a 289, ballpark 400HP, and the box is a ZF 5DS-25/0
My question is whether this clutch is likely to be streetable—not daily driver streetable, but at least “Drive through Dallas on the way to LA” streetable?
Second, if I end up changing it, is that going to require an engine tear-down and re-balance with the new clutch?
Thanks.
