I noticed you are using the Mcleod master. If I am not mistaken it is a 1 inch bore instead of the Gm 7/8's bore. Make sure you speak with the clutch manufacturer about that. I had one of those and I could not use it with my Textralia clutch as the extra flow would invert pressure plate fingers. Obviously if you are going with Mcleod it will work fine. You probably knew this but a heads up just incase.
Really an outstanding car you have going. I would scuff it and shoot clear on it. I would had to cover all of that fantastic work!

Payton,
The GM is 3/4" bore Mcleod is 13/16" Tick performance sells an 4th gen F body upgrade with a tilton 7/8" bore. I fabricated a custom mount and used a tilton 7/8" master. I have only driven the car a few miles with the new setup, one thing I notice getting into reverse is much easier.
Jason,
I would not worry about ratio on the clutch, you have the opportunity to set it up to your liking. Personally I would ditch the Mcleod, I chased an intermittent problem with mine even after a rebuild, use a tilton, they are quality units.
