need a clutch to hold up to a 383 lt1 camaro

ive been ripped out left and right with my car and just ended up paying right at 4000 bucks to rebuild my 383 only after six months of driving it cuz the person/place that did it didnt do it right and screwed alot of things up. it was only suppost to be about 1500 just for the labor cuz i already had the parts needed til they got in the motor and found alot messed up. needless to say it broke my bank and i didnt have money to replace my clutch and tob that is rattleing pretty bad right now. i was supppost to have a racing zoom clutch in the car from the first build that i had the place buy that built the car the first time. i paid them for the clutch and installing it and the new place that just rebuilt it told me that i have a oem old clutch sitting in the car that says made in china. im pretty pissed cuz i couldnt afford the new clutch to replace it and didnt know my throw out bearing was so bad. so i really need the clutch. dont have alot to spend. tired of getting screwed. thanks alot

Go get the clutch kit from Autozone/O's and sell the disk that comes with it. Order just the disk you want from Spec/Zoom/Etc and use with the PP from the kit. Or if you disk is holding just use the kit to fix the bearing issue.
