Flywheel/Clutch/Bellhousing combo w/4.30 gears

Hey guys. I've been out of the lt1 loop for so long, I need some advice on a flywheel and clutch combo and have no idea what is out there these days.

The motor is a 383 with a mild solid roller. Car has a 9" with 4.30 gears. I need a neutral balance flywheel and a clutch.

From what I remember, a good combo would be an aluminum flywheel and a McLeod Street Twin, but many new clutches/designes may be available now that I don't even know about.

So, what would you guys recommend? The car is a street driver with an occasional track apperance. I have little or no experience with aluminum flywheels, but was told that a McLeod Street Twin/aluminum flywheel weight as much as a stock clutch/flywheel combo. Should I look for a steel flywheel instead?

Any other combos recommended? What company makes a neutral balance flywheel?

Also, I need a new bellhousing (mine is cracked). I figure this is a good time to upgrade to an aftermarket one. Any ideas on price/what brand? Thanks guys.

P.S. I also need a new hydraulic system... Should I just get a stock replacment one? I recall that McLeod made some adj. ones, do they? If so, worth the upgrade? Thanks...

I always hear about how great the street twin is, but its the most money too. I'm using spec III on my 383. The break in period really sucked, but now it works great.
