Clutch torque capacity
Anyone know the torque capacity of a std pinto clutch?

I dont, but I guess this is investigating the possibility of using a pinto friction plate with a duratec setup?

Don't know myself, but you might find some info on the Burton Power website (or catalogue) in the technical guide section on transmissions.
If it's for use with the Duratec then I'd have thought it would be up to the job, being a much lighter car and all that.

Nick205 has touched on the heart of the matter.
The torque capacity of the std Pinto clutch doesn't matter 
If you can spin the wheels of the car with the std clutch (in any gear) then you know already that the clutch has got a higher torque output than the
car is capable of using/transferring to the ground.
Hence matching any engine through this clutch will allow you to make the most of the engines power output when installed in this car

Basically I can probably get a flywheel which will bolt to the duratec to take a std pinto clutch rather than the expensive 8.5" AP racing
ones.
So I am thinking this might be a cheaper way of doing it...

Madteg had trouble with his zetec clutch slipping due to having a turbo fitted.He redrilled the flywheel to take a sierra clutch and cured the
problem.
