I used google and the forum search to see what people think of Zoom clutches in general, seems like they are pretty well regarded. I bought an early xmas present to myself and ordered a Fidanza aluminum 164t flywheel for the toploader swap I am planning. From Fidanza's website and summit's it looks like this one should work:

For $30 less summit has a Ram clutch:

Or for $30 more there is the entry McLeod clutch:

Which of these is the best choice for a basically stock 351w? Looking for any opinions or suggestions. I order mainly through summit because of their excellent shipping time and return policy. The next pricier clutch is over $100 more than the McLeod I listed...

I don't have direct experience with any of them, but reviews from other members here have given high praise to the Mcleod clutches.

I don't mind spending a lil extra for better parts and will check out McLeod reviews. Didn't want to overspend on an engine that will prob never output more than 400 ish ft/lbs or 330hp~
Open to other input as well

zoom is crap . get a mcleod 3 finger 1800 lb plate and dual friction disc if you ever plan to dump the clutch

I have read a lot about diaphragm clutches and I am pretty sure my car falls within the limits of working well with one. Same for a single disc. I am leaning towards a McLeod diaphragm setup. I'm sure for how I drive this will work out pretty nicely, plus their website gives you an idea of what their clutches can handle.

remove the under dash spring if you use a diaphragm pressure plate
