Question for you guys running v8's with the nv3500..What clutch are you running, and how much power does you're truck make? I am gathering parts for my v8 swap. I had Originally bought a LUK Flywheel, a LUK oem style clutch, and a Luk Slave. This was bought when I was planning on running a cam/ Long tube 5.3. That motor was a bust, so I am looking at LQ4's which would end up getting some type of cam/ Long tube as well. Would my Luk setup be a poor choice for this? I know Spec makes a stronger clutch, but they have a less than stellar track record. This is not a race truck, so no clutch dumps are in my future. Just a fun street truck that will get sideways every now and then.

 

I run a LUK behind my Thompson 370. Never dyno'd but from what I've gathered from similar builds I'd say it's around 380ish+ to the wheels. Almost 8k on the swap and no signs of a problem from the clutch or 134k mile tranny and I'm not nice to it at all lol. Hope that helps.
