Unless you're convinced you want a hydraulic clutch. the easiest/least expensive solution is to use factory clutch linkage.. Move the pivot ball 2.5 inches forward on the bracket that bolts to the block. It'll line right up. If you don't have the small block linkage. You shouldn't have much trouble finding the parts you need.

Edit; I was asleep at the wheel.. typed this in and didn't do the mouse click thing.. sounds like you have it figured out.. G/L
