I have been using a tilton aluminum flywheel. I use 6 ARP bolts and 2 dowel
pins and so far so good for 10 years.
Not familiar with the PowerTrain clutch. I have used single and double disc
tilton and quartermaster clutches. To make this work with the stock throwout
bearing I have 2 brass collars that have been brazed together. The clutches
are not nearly as thick as the stock ones, so you have to space out the
throwout bearing more. Now I am using a Howe hydraulic release bearing. You
will need to machine the nose of the tranny to make this work. Joe(B)

I sheared off the flywheel bolts a couple of years ago using an aluminum
flywheel. I contacted Jack Wheeler, who also had the same problem. He
corrected
his problem by getting two dowel pins made, the same length that the flywheel
is thick. He then used the stock flywheel bolts and locking tabs. He felt
that he never found any bolts for that application that were better. Tying two
bolts together may also give you a little added strength:
