Flywheel and Clutch questions

[mattpatt]

I've taken the plunge and, thanks to a number of member here, I am installing the engine myself. The engine is a Keith Craft SBF 427 pulling 550 hp on the dyno (probably 450 installed?). It's carbureted and should idle ~700 - 800 RPM (air gap manifold, hydraulic roller lifers). The car will have the standard 3.45 rear. The tranny will be a T56 Magnum with 2.66 first. I expect about 50 mph in first at max RPM of 6200 with the tire I'm lookig at. This car will be driven on the street only and only in "nice" weather (California). My questions for you guys are:

1) Flywheel weight. Seems that aluminum (~16 pounds) would be fine since the car is so light. But what about engine vibration at idle? How about clutch life?

2) Clutch recommendation? I thought the Mcleod RST twin would give lots of life but I understand they grab very agressively - too much for the street.

3) rECOMMENDATIONS ON A SLAVE SETTUP - i DON'T WANT A HYDRAULIC BEARING (HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR AN EXTERNAL SETTUP
