    I have a buick 350 that I need a new clutch for. It came out of a 71 Jeep J2000. I want to put in the centerforce dual friction, but nothing is listed for that vehicle. Is it just that the vehicle is rare and not in there. If I got a clutch for like a buick skylark would that be the same? Or would the disk size be different. What about a clutch for a CJ with the 225? Is that the same flywheel pattern? The more info the better.

    '71 J2000 should have an AMC 360, not a Buick 350. If the year is the problem, the listing for the '68-70 350 will be ok. Not sure about the listing for the Skylark - spline count might be different.

    Should be easy to find an OEM clutch at Napa online. I'd guess that if Centerforce doesn't list it, they don't make it.

    No it is for sure a buick 350 and that is the only v8 that could come in those. I garantee it. I did find the listing for the centerforce clutch now and it is an 11 inch disk.

    Just for anyones info that is wondering, I did order a dual friction kit. It was 11" and I found out that most 350 flywheels (buick and chevy) have the same bolt pattern, it is all in the installed height and the type of clutch that makes the difference. The kit I got is a DF735552 and I researched it and it will also fit late 70's chevy trucks with a 350. Maybe all this is just useless info, but info never the less.
