While my engine is out, I thought it would be a good time to upgrade my clutch to give it more torque capability. I have the 240 mm KEP “Ultra Light” aluminum clutch cover and a Sachs organic clutch disk with a KEP adapter mating my small-block Chevy to an inverted Porsche G50 transaxle. The German Sachs disk is rated for a fairly high torque but KEP now offers a 6-pad metallic disk that has even higher torque specs than the Sachs so I placed an order for a disk and a new starter ring gear. I had the new disk within two days. Here is a photo showing the two disks. Both have a spring center but the metallic disk has no “marcel” ( a spring disc between the front & rear friction surface that allows a smooth take-up) so I suppose it is not suitable for the street.
The KEP (Kennedy Engineered Products) website is pretty poor but at least their products and customer service is good.
