Anyone fit sm465 with the original brake/clutch

I’m trying to fit a 292 with sm465 into a 1951 Chevy suburban. The problem is the clutch fork is so long it runs into the pivot point on the original brake/clutch setup. It’s at least 2” too long.

Curious if any of you guys have had luck keeping pedals in the same spot?

My thoughts are maybe if I cut clutch fork after first notch maybe I can offset engine to passenger side and maybe have enough room.

* moving engine up doesn’t help since it would still hit brake arm.
* moving engine down would have to be close to 4 inches down. That would need notching crossmember for harmonic balancer, oil pan clearance on steering linkage, fan issues.

Thanks for any advice.
