    It's well known that the clutch does more work in a 4wd,so a vented clutch will help,but if you have good
    shell ventilation,windows out,then it's not a problem,even for the racers in 30min finals.

    Let me know if you find a bell that fits,I mean Elcon do one,Stainless ideal with teflon,but it will be down to
    the shaft and the fittings of gears etc,the ultimate has a shaft that actually screws into the bell but the
    shaft is shorter tham my o8 comp,your in to experimental fitting territory there HH

    Take your engine out and have a look at the clutch.
