Engine is pulled - 273 rebuild or replacement 360 crate?

I prefer the ceramic-metallic lining for a clutch disc. Most commercial relining outfits will build one for you. Considering the O.P.'s OEM bellhousing diameter, this set up may handle 300 hp with 9.5" disc and live. ...

I have tried most every type of clutch. The very best was an original 10.95 440 clutch and pressure plate, but it was too stiff and broke things. I'm afraid my best 273 iteration was way over 300 hp at 6,500 rpm. I do have a McLeod 105 BB/Long setup to try with next engine. Not a fan of ceramic metallic clutches or diaphragm pressure plates and have tried them.
