Im looking at buying a clutch kit in next few days for my T56 conversion to early SBC,.
Ive got an 11inch 168 tooth lightened flywheel on its way , so now just to re-check .. do i need a 26 spline 11inch clutch & pressure plate kit ? I am using the concentric hydralic clutch unit,, does that matter on clutch type?
can annyone recommend one? , possibly from summit or jegs catalogue.
(my car was an auto ) round 400/450 rwhp.

Thanx, Gav

If you are running the LT1 T56 you will need to use the pull style clutch.

I think he's got an LS T56. Gav I'm running a new Spec Stage 3+ happy with it so far.

so i need an diaphram type ? im not up on clutches at all .. its a borgwarner tremec T56 behind a 2 piece rear main seal SBC..using a concentric hyd clutch set up.
Ive had a good look thru Jegs and summit but am unsure on what to use?
Im not a racer of any sort so a good street H/D unit that ill get some wear from. I was going to use the RAM retro fit hyd bearing (78160 jegs) as well.

any recommendations?

ryan , what brand is yours?
