Default New tranny coming, need help deciding

Well since trans #2 went bye bye (3rd and 4th) I am in need of a new one. I have pretty much decided on a TKO ( I gotta have something stronger, this 45 aint gettin it) but not for 100 percent. With the TKO, I need a different clutch and bellhousing. So:

1. What type of clutch should I go with? If everything works out, around the same time as the trans a vortech kit is going on. I need something strong, but I don't want the pedal to be as stiff as a board. It is not a daily driver, but I like my streetablity.

2. What about the bellhousing? I assume they are all the same (differnet brands?)

3. Will I need any other parts to hook this all up?

4. What about a new driveshaft? Is it worth it go aluminum at this point?

Anything else I should be wary of?? I really want a stronger/better trans than the 45, and I don't think a 3650 is gonna do the job. I am not set on a TKO for 100 percent, but it seems like a really strong setup????

EDIT: Also, where can I get all this stuff? I have seen several places online but have never ordered from any of em.

Look into possibly a Spec Racing Clutch, King Cobra.... all though i heard King Cobra is like a leg lifting machine. If your putting a s/c on it it wouldnt be a bad idea to go with aluminum driveshaft - light weight and stronger. Hopefully more people can either agree with me or give you more options.
