I've never had any personal experience with multi-plate clutches and flywheels, but have read about them and spoken to some of the old-timers who said that there was a reason Ford dropped the design shorty after Model A production began. They have inherent problems that get worse over time. It wasn't the best design especially compared to the "modern" single disc and pressure plate configuration. For cost and reliability reasons it would be more practical to convert to a conventional clutch and flywheel unless you absolutely want accurate period authenticity. But when it comes to the clutch, no one will ever know.
