McLeod Soft Lok Hcf MOPAR 8 Bolt Crank 0 Bal 10.5in X 1 X 23 Spl 143

McLeod Racing is well-known for their performance clutch components, and the Soft Lok clutch assembly is a popular choice among drag racers. This particular kit is designed for Mopar vehicles with an 8-bolt crankshaft, specifically for Hemi and Wedge engines from 1963-1972. It features a 10.5-inch diameter disc with 23 splines and a 143-tooth count, intended for serious performance applications where holding power and controlled engagement are critical.

The Soft Lok assembly is engineered to provide low static pressure, which translates to a lighter pedal effort and a softer clutch engagement. This characteristic helps drivers leave the starting line harder with less chance of tire spin, a crucial factor in drag racing. The kit includes an adjustable long-style pressure plate, a sintered iron disc compound known for its durability and performance under high stress, and a billet aluminum flywheel. This combination offers substantial holding power for the entire duration of a race run. It's important to note that this clutch is not recommended for street use due to its aggressive nature and performance focus.

This clutch kit is SFI rated, indicating it meets safety standards for racing applications, and it is proudly made in the USA. The design allows for adjustable spring pressure and is available with counterweights, giving racers the ability to fine-tune the clutch's behavior to their specific needs and track conditions. If you're building a Mopar for the drag strip, this McLeod Soft Lok kit is a well-regarded option for achieving consistent performance off the line.
