Default Engine is out_need some guidance

Engine is out of the car-thinking about this opportunity to upgrade a few things:

BDR #1061-Car has a TKO600, engine I will have should be around 550 HP according to Ford Racing, 351/427 Alum hydro roller. I want to get the best clutch set up I can for street use and given that I will be getting a long block, I have a blank canvas as far as everything "bolt on". The Master cylinder went bad at 800 miles BDR sent me a Wilwood master but I still have the original slave (which has no name on it), the clutch has a red housing with no name on it either.

Basically, if you were in my shoes and wanted the best of everything from the carb to the fuel pump, to the headers what would you do in order to ensure you had good stuff under your hood. Consider that this will be carb set up so no need go FI. Is a Mckleod set up worth it? Elec fuel pump? Upgraded radiator-I have an alum Behr currently. Best pulley set up (I have the 2" alum set up-cant remember the manufacture but there wa a thread that they tore up alternators-the pulleys have an "M" engraved on them-though it could be a "W"

I appreciate any insight on this-I really want the best for reliability not bling factor-thx again! gary
