I have a 71 bronco with a top loader 4 speed from a 65 mustang. The 302built has a b303 cam from a 95 mustang. What would be the best clutch?.

Need more information please.

I have a 71 bronco with a top loader 4 speed from a 65 mustang.
Close ratio or wide ratio? Guessing wide ratio, with the lower first gear. I think they only put the close ratios in the larger cars?
I could be wrong, but do you know what the first gear ratio is?
The 302built has a b303 cam from a 95 mustang. What would be the best clutch?.
Pretty mild then? What's the "best" clutch might be subjective and up to you.
And up to further, most important information.
Such as:
1. What was/is your clutch problem from the thread title?
2. What size tires"
3. What gear ratios in the differentials?
4. What kind of driving is this Bronco being set up for?
5. New flywheel? Set up for diaphragm only type clutch, or can use the original 3-finger "Long" style clutch cover?
6. How "enthusiastic" (read: heavy) is your right foot?
7. How strong is your left leg, and how much stronger do you want it to be after driving your rig for awhile?

The tire size/gear ratio question might be the most important of the whole bunch.

Good luck with the decision!

Also need to know what bellhousing you have. The bellhousing dictates what size flywheel you will run. And that can limit the choices of clutch.
