A few ?'s for the experienced

Hey everyone! I have a few questions that I could use some advice on. I have an 82 Z28 with a '74 350, lt1 t56. I need to know clutch dimensions and or the optimal kit recommended (about 350-400 hp., race once or twice street machine, fidanza flywheel) I was thinking that a lot of good things were being said about Mcleod spec 2, If so does anyone know the best place to obtain one of these and or part number? Also, I have read stories on how I have a differently shaped torque arm that needs a different mount verses the later models. Where can I get one of these? Do I need to shorten the driveshaft from a 92 z28? With these answered I can order parts and at least get it mobile. I am sure there will be several more ?'s. As for now thanks and can't wait for some suggestions.
