Welcome to stangnet
Now if we knew what model you have would make recommendations a little easier.

Installed a Ram HDX on mine years ago no complaints, currently running it behind my 393w with no issues.

Rated for up to 450hp , although I never dynoed my build it should be right around that mark, also just a street car.

I had great luck with the ol King Cobra clutch. I had the same clutch in a couple of different cars,couldn't kill it.

Is the King Cobra Clutch still available? I thought it got dropped by Ford Racing a long time ago? I put one in a friend's car over ten years and it was a Valeo (spelling?) part, so maybe there's a different part number for the same thing.

Ford Racing stopped selling it but It is still offered by Veleo who has always been who made it for Ford Racing.

Centerforce Dual friction would be my recommendation. I've used them on many different configuration of foxes with great results.

yes and no.

Ford still sells it, but it’s changed over the years. Valeo sells it even cheaper than Ford. The current pressure plate has increased torque rating. The older king cobra kit uses a pressure plate the reduced leg effort 10% over stock. I have this older kit and leg effort is very nice.

This has been in my car for a year, I am not gentle with it, still looked new when I just did the engine swap.

So I looked this clutch up on Ebay and it said 86 up.. Why would this clutch NOT fit my 83? I was told a 10.5" clutch assembly would bolt on to my original flywheel that had a 10" clutch.... Anyone know?

King Cobra for that power level and street tires in my opinion. Good street manners and easy on the pedal. You can call SPEC, RAM or Mcloud for their recommendations also if you are interested; they are all good brands. The Centerforce is basically a stock clutch, so I wouldn't bother.

Same here and would highly recommend it. I also installed the MM clutch cable and my clutch feels almost as good as the one in my 2011 GT did when it was new.

I had the engine out of my ‘86, and when it went in I bought the Centerforce clutch to replace my old Centerforce clutch. Absolutely no complaints about Centerforce.
