You'd need something like a 2600-3000lb clamp load on a typical sintered paddle clutch material, that's a heavy plate - we ran a 2600lb on the buggy for years and it was a bitch trying to shunt it around in the pits.
You might get down to 2000lb with some proper ceramic pucks but I don't know anyone that offers a Pug clutch using them, tend to be race clutches only, I tried to do something a while ago using them, but as the puck mountings are thicker than usual to take the load I couldn't get down to the standard stack height without some alterations to the flywheel, etc.
Depending on what you have to spend, a twin disc conversion might be an idea.
