Hey all! Needing suggestions for a good brand of ceramic clutch for my "73 k30. It has the original 4 on the floor (not sure what size exactly the clutch is I just know it's a ceramic clutch). In front I have a short block 454 with mild cam and pistons nothing too crazy. Just looking for a good brand, how much it's gonna cost me and where to get it. I would prefer a cheaper one but then again I would rather pay a little more and have it last. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

For clutches I go to Napa for quality stuff. It is a job you want to do once with quality parts. Have the flywheel turned, new pilot bushing and really inspect the clutch fork for wear where it comes in contact with the throw out bearing. My$.02

I have read a lot of debate on weather to use a 11" or 12" clutch, any suggestions on this? I have no clue what is in it now, will be disassembling it soon.

think you have to use what you pull out. i got mine from autozone (duralast) now i have been abusing this clutch mudding, towing scrap and cars and even taught my wife how to drive a stick. and this was 6 years ago. and its still the same one. the clutch i never had it turned when i swapped motors just swapped the flywheel. haven't had a problem with it

Had mine custom made at uniqueclutches.com. I just went over there and the pressure plate disc and throw out bearing was like 89 bucks. Tell them what you have and what you do with it and they make it. IMO they are the best. Build alot of the local truck pullers clutches for the pro mods. Can make just about anything

I used Zoom brand in the past with good results.
