You should talk to Art, I'm pretty sure his is diapragm, but I don't know about the springs in the disk.

Thanks Ken
The only "street twin" clutches for 351C that I could find with diapragm
springs had solid center (unsprung) discs. I'm not sure these are really
suitable for true street use?
I also wonder about them fitting inside our bell housing.

McLeod makes the Street Twin in both 3 finger and diaphragm:

Just to open a Pantera topic on the list...
I've heard a lot of comments about heavy clutch effort in our
Panteras. Some
people say they find even the Centerforce still a bit much in
traffic?
Does anyone run a dual plate clutch on the street or have any
first hand
experience regarding the pedal effort on them?
It appears McLeod offer a "street twin" clutch for a 351C but I
don't knoe
if it fits in our bellhousing ? Also, it seems the only dual disc
type they
offer for street use is a long type instead of a diaphragm.
The old optional dual plate diaphragm clutch that GM sold for high
HP
Corvettes in the 69-71 era were supposed to hold the LS6 454 etc.
and be
easy for the little woman to push the clutch in.
Just curious.
