Recommendations for 427SO

I'm the guy that bought Turk's ERA car.I purchased a very nice
427SO block and am in the process of getting all the "innards" together.The FE buildup will be chronicled in a machine shop publication that I will pass along once it is complete.
Currently the engine is spec. is .020 over-KB hyperutectic pistons-
approx.10:1-Edelbrock Performer RPM heads-Performer RPM intake-Holley 750-MSD billet distributor (car has an MSD-6 box
already under the dash),Edelbrock water pump,ARP bolts,etc.
Need a couple of recommendations:
-connecting rods-prefer an aftermarket-no overpriced 35 year old
Lemans
-hi-amp alternator
-source for FE pulleys-don't want hot rod billet versions
-turkey pan-are they all the same?some seem so rough cut-Can I
buy one and cut it myself?
-flywheel
-clutch-who makes a good one for Cobras?
-cam recommendation-car only has a 3:31 rear end--good street
cam with torque
-oil pan-Do you favor Aviad or Canton or ???
Thanks-Dandy Don
