The Tiger engine, clutch and transmission are all Ford parts. There
is nothing special about the Tiger clutch.
The difference is whether you have a 5 bolt engine or a 6 bolt engine block.
The 5 bolt has a 10.5" flywheel and the 6 bolt has an 11" flywheel.
Original pilot bearing - C2OA-7600-A I believe this bearing is used in
all 289 engines also.

Subject: [Tigers] Best Clutch Kit 289
Hi all. I am getting ready to buy a clutch for my 289 engine. The engine
is built to produce about 300HP (or just a bit less), so I am guessing I'll
need a clutch rated for more than stock power. I expect to drive the car
occasionally and at least 99% on the street. The flywheel is the old stock
160 tooth flywheel, which has been resurfaced, by the way. So, I am a bit
clueless as to which clutch kit to buy. First, is there anything special
about the Sunbeam Tiger, in that it needs a special type of clutch? I am
considering the RAM Musclecar clutch and the McLeod MCL75113 diaphram clutch
from Summit Racing. I seem to remember Doug Jennings recommending a
diaphragm
clutch to me... David Kee Toploaders as a clutch made especially for
Sunbeam
Tigers, whatever that means. I would like to keep the expense of a clutch
at or lower than the McLeod ($235). Does anyone have any experience with
choosing a clutch for a Tiger? I would really appreciate your advice and
opinions of the two clutch kits mentioned above (from Summit Racing), as
well as the David Kee clutch. I also have to buy a pilot bearing and don't
know if that was a special bearing for the Tiger only. Any idea? Thanks
very much! Mauro _______________________________________________
