I would like some ideas, thoughts, comments on clutch choice.

I have run autos so long I don't have a clue where to start. My
setup is strange, just because. It's a 69 long fleet a/c. I'm doing
a 2-4 drop, just spindles in front but in back I'm setting bags for
tooling around AND brackets for coilovers so I can morph quick.
I haven't weighed it but I figure around 4500 or so wet. I weigh
275. I know how,and will set f/r bias and i/c.

OK, let's get weird. Three on the tree stay's. Rear and gears will
probably be 9-inch and ratio set so I can live with it on the street
and still get out of the hole. This is gonna' take some thought and
compromise I know. Maybe an O.D. unit ? Motor is 357 Little "M"
4340 crank, Lunati rods, a real nice [worked on] set of 034 heads,
Vic Jr., 750 Demon, solid cam 2400-7000, MSD. Pistons are forged.
It will be pump gas with a "BLUE" co-pilot. I'm thinking 200 will be
the high side.

I need a clutch I can live with and still hold.

I know I'm not optimizing what I got it's just what I want. Any ideas
or ideas. I don't know everything so feel free to point out flaws.

Oh yeah, A/C works but could be quick disconnect.
Hell I'm in TEXAS what do you expect ???????
