I am building my engine up an I want to make sure I put in a clutch and presuure plate that will stay together. I am pretty sure a OEM clutch and pressure plate will be fine but wanted to double cheak on the forums before I go buying the new one.

Ok here are the engine specs. Block is bored 30 over, 600 cfm Holley on a edelbrock 60's version intake , 10.5 - 1 compression, JBA headers , Heads have been worked Milodon Valves 1.85 intake 1.55 exaust Ported and polished. Roller rockers and Hydrolic roller comp cam 270HR with roller lifters.
Most likely going with a detroit locker for the rear end.

It should be fine as long as you don't do any holeshots.
