McLeod Soft Lok Hcf Ford Sm Blk 5.0/5.7L 0 Bal 10in X 1-3/16 X 18 Spl 157

McLeod Racing has been a well-known name in performance drivetrain components for a long time, and their Soft Lok clutch assembly is a popular choice among drag racers. This particular unit, the Soft Lok HCF, is built for serious performance on the strip, not for daily driving. It's designed to help you leave the starting line harder with less unwanted tire spin, thanks to its low static pressure that allows for a softer clutch engagement. This means you can get off the line quickly and efficiently, which is crucial for competitive drag racing.

What sets the Soft Lok apart is its adjustability. You can fine-tune the spring pressure to match your specific needs and driving style, and it's also available with counterweights for even more control. The assembly includes a billet aluminum flywheel, a sintered iron disc with a 5135 compound for strong holding power, and an adjustable long-style pressure plate. This combination is NHRA and IHRA record-holding proven, meaning it has the durability and performance to handle demanding runs down the track. It's SFI rated, ensuring it meets safety standards for racing applications, and it's made right here in the USA.

This clutch kit fits a wide range of Ford vehicles from 1963 through 1995, including popular models like the Bronco, F-150, and various Econoline vans equipped with 5.0L or 5.7L engines. Because this is a specialized drag racing clutch, it's important to remember it's not recommended for street use. If you're building a dedicated drag car and need a clutch that offers both a soft engagement for control and robust holding power for the entire run, the McLeod Soft Lok is a solid option.
