There is a Swedish owner and his son that has stuffed one of these in 
their Pantera.

They are using a 90 degree exhaust and a dual disc Tilton clutch mounted 
to a flexplate. It has a magnificent sound. They demonstrated the car 
last fall, and the audience was ecstatic! The throttle response with the 
super light flywheel/clutch assembly is phenomenal, and it will surely 
help boost the lumpiness.

The clutch was probably one of these:

Not much horsepower, but the sound... ;-)
