Centerforce clutch?

Hall Pantera has the whole kit which includes a new correct flywheel. I did my 72 about 2000 miles ago and it works great. I would rather buy all my parts from the same vendor.

I went with the Hall Package also, It was a complete package price about $500 and so far everything is great! Clutch effort is way less than stock

Centerforce is a diaphragm-type clutch with bob-weights for more holding power. You need an 11" size to bolt on a stock 351C flywheel. Anyone that tells you that a new flywheel is required, is trying to sell a 10-1/2" Mustang clutch, which will work OK, but its extra expense for the new f'wheel. You can also have a shop drill & tap a 10-1/2" pattern in your present flywheel. The stock 3-finger clutch takes a flat-face throwout bearing. Mac Tilton of Tilton Eng says that diaphragm clutches need a radiused-face throwout, or you'll get non-linear clutch action. Most Pantera guys that use diaphragm clutches & flat-face throwouts don't notice any problem. Don't get carried away with clutch weight, either. A std-duty 11" diaphragm clutch works just fine in 454 Corvettes, and is noticably easier to push in a Pantera than a 3-finger clutch, without slippage.

The easiest thing to do is PHONE Centerforce yourself and talk to their tech reps.

They make a specific clutch for Panteras (as opposed to modified 5.0 Mustang clutches which some people sell) and I believe you have the correct part number for it. However, the Pantera-specific Centerforce clutch also requires a new flywheel (or having yours re-drilled); they offer a complete kit (clutch, pressure plate, flywheel) which you can special-order from any dealer.

But as long as you can be sure that you're getting the Real Deal and not a modified 5.0 unit, I suggest ordering from a Pantera vendor. The price will be similar, so why not support those who support us?
