Chevrolet used dual disc clutches in heavy duty gas trucks and a few high performance applications way back when.Nate,that thing will work well on the street as long as the discs aren't too aggressive.Your putting in excess of 600 ft.lbs.of torque through there.

Nice piece got one in my Nova.
Shift it a bit slower and it would be fine. Talk to me at 42.
Don I talked to Cale at black magic clutches and we went through what I am doing with the car and what my setup is and this was one of 2 recommendations he had that we talked about. The other option was a single disc setup but he didn’t think it would last as long as this setup. The weight of the car is the issue so I went this route. Dave I will talk to you at 42!
Well clutch is all in and seems to work good! Now to clean it up for dragway 42!
Is the clutch rag or ceramic?
Ceramic
Finally put the exhaust back on over the weekend so I can drive on the street. Tried out my 1-2 shift that was having issues with and still didn’t seem real happy so jacked it up and checked over the shift linkage. I found the 1-2 rod was rubbing on the 3-4 rod so I flipped the ear for 3-4 to move it away and give it room. Also noticed the plastic bushings for the linkage look pretty beat up so I ordered the pit pack with metal bushings. I tried the 1-2 shift after flipping the 3-4 ear to clear the 1-2 rod and I could then shift to 2nd when testing both times I tried.
Nate........ that’s really a nice looking hot rod ........
Thanks Kieth!

I don’t know why the photo is sideways. Can’t seem to figure out how to rotate it either.
I right click on the picture and copy tp pictures or desktop, then open it where you put it and you should have a dropdown at the top of the page that will let you rotate it. If that helps.
Not really I just use my phone don’t have a desktop computer. When I rotate it in my phone then load it it will load it the position I put it but if I put the picture normal it will automatically rotate it when I load it to the site for some reason.
Well edited the picture and now it will stay the way I took it. Had to edit the size to load it to the site and now it’s kinda blurry. Been having issues with that on this site for a bit and don’t know why never used to be a issue.
Send it to my phone.
I know how much you like them but I doubt that the sister would part with the elcamino Brad.
