The wear pattern should be easy to measure on the flywheel. I can get some measurements of the 11" components in the next couple days.

I just picked up a C2AE engine from a large truck, Thought it may have the steel crank but it didn't, the funny thing is it had a 12" clutch behind a y block, it was a first for me, seen lots of 10 and 11" but never a 12.

Now if I can use that flywheel in my vicky and get the right disc to fit a 12" to the T10.

Bill:

I've got a 12" flywheel and clutch, but I don't remember where it came from.  The disc has the 1 1/4" spline, so it won't fit your T10.  Maybe they did make one with 1" spline, or a clutch shop might be able to build you one.  I really don't see a need for a 12" clutch in anything but a HD truck though.

John,

This one had the 1.375" x 10 spline. I did not think I would ever need a 12 inch either since I put a fully balanced 11" clutch and pressure plate in there, but after talking to Wally who has the same combo and looking at how he modified his cross member, he mentioned he did that because he had to remove the trans several times from wearing out the clutch, he said he went through the 11" clutches like nothing until he got a race disc, I can't remember the brand but I'll get him to refresh my memory when the time comes.

Does Wally visit this site? I don't recall seing him here much.

Oh! and congrats on your first race of the year!!!

The Centerforce Dual Friction is what I use. I think that might be the one Wally and Gary use as well. It's sweet. Light pedal and suppose to hold about 500hp!

Bill:

I knew after I posted the other answer I should have said 1 3/8" spline, not 1 1/4.  Sorry.

The duelfriction centerforce 11 inch is what wally and I use, and I can't think of anything better for a stick shift.BigGrin

Gary,

How pricey is that dual force setup?

I may be changing my motor this year and may as well put on in while at it.

The F600 & 700 had the 12" clutch on a 292 in '63 & '64,,,
