Clutch disc

[3W Hank]

On the clutch disc.
I has a hotted upp 59BA with some classic stuff as Merc 4”, PM 7 intake, dual LZ, Scitilla magnet, Potvin 425 cam, E&S heads.
I might port up runners and light the crank.
I guess it might at best get 150 HP or so, but theme on car is a old street racer late 40’s.
I like the sound a fast rew up.
No burnouts but might like rew on gears.
Truth is a more show than go.
Very little used, so not much milage.
Body is 1932 5W so a light car and Lincoln transmission 2.32-1.61-1.00 and 4.44 and 31.5” tall tires ( 7.50 )
Flywheel is a alumium old from Ford or aftermarket ( to a boat maybe ? )
( I will install a cast surface ) but its light at 12 LBS.
Pressusre plate is a 10” Aburn.
Don’t know if they was ’better’ than the Fords or lighter or consider ”hotrod”.

I has a source that has old Ford parts and he has a disc as I think NOS ( dont know year ) but guess Ford made and organic. I has not seen it.

So the question is are the new after market ’better’ as they is call them advertised.

-I has a tick of use old parts as much as possible.
But many thing in this car is new as Ross pistons, thinner T/S rings, titan valves, bearings, new radiator cell, new ( my guess ) plastic China ’Firestone’ tires ( wish I had older set..)
So allot of parts has to be new made or will be new for some resons.
