Clutch options for UN1/Essex V6 flywheel.

[Dave Bilyk]

Guys,
as a minimum I need to replace my clutchplate, but since I am upgrading camshaft, I may need to upgrade clutch too.
Just wondering what options there are, and preferably don't involve flywheel mods. What clutches are you UN1/Essex V6 guys using?

I note that the V6 flywheel is smaller than a standard 302 flywheel, so as a result, the clutch is a 9.5" which is smaller than standard 302, so I guess the clutch is a bit marginal anyway. I suppose that leads into higher clamping loads or twin plate clutches, but what is enough to do the job?

What is the 9.5" clutch plate from? It has a 21 spline to fit the renault gearbox, but is larger diameter than the 21 turbo I think.

Any comments / info welcome
