40coupe

I just got this car as a abandoned project so there’s a lot already done and a lot that needs done. Anyways I wanted to use the factory clutch pedal with the gm mechanical clutch. However I bolted the pedal assembly in tonight and the brake pedal hits the Bellhousing so that idea won’t work. Wondering if aftermarket firewall mounted pedals would work? It’s a crappy pic but the only one I have right now. That’s before I got it.

New to page and new to hot rods period. I do muscle cars so I don’t know much about these cars. I have a 1940 Plymouth business coupe I just got it’s been highly modified already. Has a big block Chevy, Muncie 4 speed and a 12 bolt Camaro rear end. My question is has anyone used the factory clutch pedal assembly with a more modern clutch for the 4 speed? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
