Default Buying new parts to prep for a new engine.

My iron-headed 435 stroker finally died, so I'm having a new engine built. I'm buying some new parts in preparation for the build, and am looking for some recommendations on:

1. A clutch that will work well behind a 400 stroked to 461 and 500 hp, 560 lb tq. If possible, I'd like it to be easy to drive. (Not like the leg press at the gym.)
2. A blow proof bellhousing.
3. A driveshaft loop.
4. Engine Mounts.
5. Battery cables. The shop that restored my car specialized in Chevy A bodies and put my battery on the passenger side (with a 15 foot positive cable). I'm going to move it back to the driver side.
6. Headers that will fit good in a '65. (Currently probably buying Doug's.)

Thanks!
