McLeod Soft Lok Hcf MOPAR 8 Bolt Crank 0 Bal 10in X 1-1/8 X 26 Spl 130

McLeod Racing is well-known for making serious performance drivetrain components, and their Soft Lok clutch assembly is a popular choice among drag racers. This particular kit is built for Mopar vehicles with an 8-bolt crankshaft, specifically designed for Hemi and Wedge engines from 1963-1972. It features a 10-inch diameter disc with a 1-1/8 inch spline count of 26, and a 130-tooth ring gear pattern. This is a serious piece of equipment, not intended for daily driving, but rather for getting down the track quickly.

What sets the Soft Lok apart is its focus on performance at the drag strip. It's engineered with low static pressure, which means you get a lighter pedal feel and a softer clutch engagement when you're not on the throttle. This helps you leave the starting line harder with less chance of bogging or spinning your tires, giving you a better launch. The assembly also offers adjustable spring pressure and the option for counterweights, allowing you to fine-tune its holding power for the entire duration of your run. This kit includes the adjustable long-style pressure plate, a sintered iron disc known for its durability and holding capacity, and a lightweight billet aluminum flywheel.

This McLeod Soft Lok clutch kit is SFI rated, meaning it meets safety standards for racing, and it's made in the USA. It's a record-holding assembly in NHRA and IHRA, so you know it's built to perform under pressure. Because this is a specialized drag racing component, it's important to note that it is not recommended for street use. If you're building a Mopar for the strip and need a clutch that can handle serious power and deliver consistent launches, this is a solid option.
