T5 Swap - What flywheel to use? And what clutch?

I'm getting ready to do the T5 swap on my 68 AMX, but need to figure out what flywheel to use. It's a 390.

Currently I have a TF998 in there, and used the crank adapter. The engine was balanced and they added weight to the crank as part of the process, so I doubt my flexplate weighting is anything near stock, especially as it was a 304 flexplate. Ultimately I'll have to take the new flywheel in to have it match balanced to the flexplate.

I plan to use a 77 Jeep clutch kit from RockAuto as they offer a Borg & Beck style:

I'm thinking I should buy a flywheel for a 401 as it should be a good starting point for balancing, assuming weight has to come off.

Will the 77 Jeep 304 pressure plate have the same bolt pattern as the 401 flywheel? Anything else I'm missing here?

Thanks

Good deal - thanks Frank.

I tried to use a Borg & Beck on my 1970 390 when I installed my T-5Z. Hard to explain without a picture, but the rivets on the side of the disc that faces the flywheel hit the flywheel, rather than the recess in the flywheel. The end result was a clutch that would not release. I then purchased a diaphragm clutch, that disc fit correctly.

But, I bought a good, but not performance, clutch. Now, after 1000 miles or so, the clutch slips. So, I would strongly recommend NOT using that Rock Auto clutch. Buy something from a performance clutch vendor IE Hays, Ram, McLeod, Centerforce. Then carefully inspect everything as you install it. Pay particular attention to the side of the disc that faces the flywheel. There will be rivets arranged in a circle. Make sure the diameter of that circle of rivets is smaller than the diameter of the round recess in your flywheel. That way you won't have to pull everything apart a couple of times like I did.

I still have to pull my car apart again to install a high quality clutch, just have to find the time. Sadly, I haven't been able to really drive it much due to the clutch. I wish I had spent more $$ to start with. A clutch is no place to bargain shop, install the best!

The pilot bushing I used was part # PB-76-HD. I got this from Advance Auto. A bushing came with the new clutch set, but it looked like garbage compared to the PB-76-HD.   

OK, how about something like this:

I talked with Phoenix Friction yesterday and like them alot. After talking a bit I really think that the Stage 2 dual friction would fit the bill perfectly for me.

The pressure plate has a little heavier spring to it than stock, and the disc should start to grab on the organic material and not chatter like full ceramic would, then eventually be held with the ceramic against the flywheel once the clutch is fully released.

The pressure plate is the same on they would use on Chevy 327s and 350s.
