Do we know which came first, the clutch or the flywheel?
In my experience, it is more often the flywheel than the clutch that
tends to grenade, and of course clutch parts come out through the new
ventilation holes with the flywheel parts. It seems to me this is
contributed to by flywheel lightening, a common "power tuning" technique
amongst the thin of wallet.
Much safer to purchase a billet or alloy flywheel.

Mayf and Bob,
About four years ago in a Vintage Race at Pacific Raceways, Kent,
WA.
a small block clutch assembly grenaded in either a Mercury Comet or a
Ford
Falcon. I wasn't there to see it, but I was told it somehow managed to
lockup
the transmission and the car went round and round in circles, down the
straight-away...
