    Hello all,
    I am looking for a clutch for my T-56 swap on my quad. Truck has full bolt on's and tune. May go FI or spray but lets not consider that now as by that time I may need a new clutch. I have a new steel Spec flywheel.
    What do you all run and have had good luck with?

    Centerforce?
    South Bend?
    LUK? (OEM)
    any others?

    I did a SPEC II when I changed my clutch. The factory clutch lasted 14 years lol, with some of those years being a little underpowered!

    I have full bolt ons and am running a center force. It works good. I’ve blown 2 rear ends with this clutch with street tires. If anything it’s to strong. I should have just put in a factory luk. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of those clutches you listed.

    Thank you Old Colt and Poncho! This helps.

    It's amazing that the factory LUK is so highly regarded as it's only $180 bucks. The Centerforce is $850.. seems like such a disparity at 4x the price..

    Huuummmmm.

    I went with a centerforce clutch when I did my conversion. I’m totally happy with it.

    So far headers, exhaust and a throttle body upgrade. I don’t plan on doing to much to her just because it’s hard as hell to finds parts. To answer your question I love the conversion it was hell specking out the parts I needed.
