Help with these clutch baskets

[Jgspahn]

I got three clutches in a lot of parts that I bought. This is my first time into a banshee motor so I have no Idea what a stock clutch basket looks like. I obviously realize one is not stock, but id like to know if its a good one. Also the other one looks billet to me, but it could be stock.. iono. I only posted pictures of 2 because there were two of the ones that were silver.

 

 

 

1. I have two of these (above) and both are exactly the same. I included a spring in the picture because I have spring questions at the end of this post.

 

 

 

2. This one (above) is not stock for sure. Is this a good basket? Can they go bad? Do I need to check anything on it?

I have a picture of three different springs:

 

 

 

They are (from left to right) 1. Brand new FAST springs that came with the clutch kit I bought 2.Large gold spring that came outta the black hinson clutch posted above. and 3. Spring outta the silver clutch posted above.

Top one is the brand new FAST clutch kit I bought, and bottom one came outta the hinson basket. Is the bottom one stock? Which should I use?

 

 

 

Sorry for the long complicated post.. I should work on getting my point across better and more concise eh..

Take pictures of the side of the "teeth" on the basket to see if there's any wear but I would use the 2nd basket and all the fast parts.

run the hinson with the FAST clutch fibers.

middle clutch spring is a heavy duty spring, last one is OEM. I'd use the fast clutch and springs.

i looked it up on ebay... is that basket really worth 200$+ ? I had a stock front piece on it tho.. online for the whole clutch its freaking 800 bucks.. What makes it so good?

 

Looks like I got a steal with this lot of parts I bought off this dude a few months back!

Here are pictures of the silver clutch:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here are some of the Hinson one, and a side by side comparison of both

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Didnt really know what angle yall needed to see to tell the wear or whatever, but theres a buncha random ones.

The Hinson basket looks practically brand new! On the last pic, see those divots in the basket fingers on the stock basket? That's bad. On the Hinson basket, when it get's just a very slight amount of wear, it very noticeable  because you see the anodizing worn off. The anodizing is not worn off on yours.

Awesome.. It just had a stock front plate or whatever you call it, but hey ill take a 200 dollar basket over stock anyday! Im wondering what makes it better than stock? Wears out slower or something?

[Starwriter]

The stock pressure plate and inner hub are fine to use. The billet baskets hold up better to increased horsepower. If you get into some serious horsepower, you get the Hinson inner hub and pressure plate and it allows you to run 8 plates instead of the stock 7.

That hinson basket looks new! Nice score.

Look for wear where the clutches turn the basket. You can see ridges in the stock basket. Does this guy have any more boxes of goodies laying around?

I bought everything he had. A couple of clutches, stators, two sets of cases w/chain whacks, three cranks (I think one may be a stroker crank cause it looks different ) two transmissions, stock carbs, set of old fatty, set of old aliens pipes or something??, bunch of stock front arms, stock and +something swing arm.. Gold mine for 150$. The stuff was his sons who moved off and abandoned all this stuff in his dad's garage.. Real life American pickers!
