Transmission/Clutch

BigBlockChevelle · 08-08-2010, 08:34 PM

Hello, we are new to Super Stock and have a couple questions. We are planning on building a Super Stock 67 396/375 Chevelle. I want to keep 4 speed. I imagine a Jerico is the way to go for this setup? Also, what type of clutch would you guys reccomend? Thanks for the advice, Justin.

If you want to go as fast as possible, want to get it right the first time, don't want to break parts, want to make it a fun experience and not have the suicide hotline inscribed on your bell housing, you need a Sportsman Dual 7" for that application. The Sportsman single 10" would suffice but without a doubt the Sportsman Dual 7" unit would be the ultimate. Figure $2900 for complete assembly. If you want to step it up a notch, get a reduced size flywheel / ring gear with a starter to mate to it.
I would also recommend the Quick Time Inc., bellhousing. It's smaller & lighter than your typical hydroformed unit and is 6.1 SFI legal with a removable window for easy clutch adjustments.
If I were buying new, I'd buy a G-Force clutchless but if cost were not a consideration, I'd buy a Liberty. Note you can buy a clutch G-Force used and for $1500 G-Force will convert it to clutchless. You would have to get a smokin' deal on a used unit to justify the conversion.
You can get a package deal at one source. PM me for contact info as admin won't allow "advertising"
Do it right the first time and you will have a lot of fun!
