Are there any aftermarket Clutches that will work with the stock flywheel?
Aftermarket Clutch with Stock Flywheel

Any of them will work. The choice of which depends on what you are planning to do with the car.
At a certain point in horsepower you may want to change the entire set up, but a good clutch will grab a steel flywheel.

If you stick with the stock clutch, be sure to get it refinished.
Not all of them will work to my understanding... I read that the exedy mach 500 will not work with the stock fly.
I have a mach 500 it works perfect with the stock flywheel. The only clutches that need a special flywheel are typically twin disc.
How high do you rev your car with that clutch? Boss manifold/Cobra Jet? I have a boss manifold and I need a clutch that can rev high without lockout.
McLeod claims their clutches won’t work correctly without their flywheels, but who knows. I’ve always gotten a lightened steel flywheel when I replaced the clutch just to reduce rotating mass.
Basically any clutch besides stock will suffice for high revving.
It's highly recommended to go with the corresponding flywheel when upgrading the clutch. For example if you where to have a Mcleod clutch with the stock flywheel, then there won't be as much contact with the clutch disk as it would with the matching Mcleod flywheel, this will cause premature wear and poor engagement.
I take that back all the mcleod stuff needs a different flywheel. Ive given up on mcleod ive had bad luck with their clutches.
First time I've ever heard anything bad about mcleod stuff..
