I think its really going to depend on a few things....power/torque the engine will be making, weight of the car etc. I have seen NAPA clutches live a long time in a stock vehicle and I have also seen them fall apart on a 300 rwh car...driving style also has a lot to do with it lasting.... for the extra 80 bucks I'd get a Ram clutch or something made to handle a few hundred horse to be safe....

What's the application for the clutch? SBC and BBC car are smaller than the truck clutches. I know the 1050 is drilled for the car clutches, not sure if truck is different.

I thank a 76ish 3/4 ton the disk hits more area of the flywheel than any of the others I tried around 1/4inch hanging off. It does have the same bolt pattern as the cars.

You may need the truck bellhousing too. Larger pressure plate might not fit the 621.
If you go with the truck bell, it has a larger cutout for the Muncie car trans bearing retainer. You'll need an adapter.
