mixed parts there ?, a flex plate is for an auto,
Best place to buy is from the USA for both price & choice. How quickly do you need them ?

McLoud make an oversize pressure plate that will take an 11" clutch disc for the gen I engines with the 153 tooth flywheel, which is what I have... No idea if it will fit gen II engines..

What are trying to achieve ..? bigger clutch on an LT1 engine.. ?

Flywheel bolt pattern's different on an sbc when compared to an ls1 and I doubt you want to use only 5 bolts. Also 153 teeth isn't large enough diameter to use an ls1 starter. You need 168 teeth from an ls1/6 auto.

As for a triple clutch have you tried AP racing? Or do Helix make clutches? If it helps I've got a new ls1/6 McLeod street twin dual plate and steel sfi rated flywheel here for £750 that I don't need. It's good for well over 1000 hp.
