Technical 1941 Chevy Sedan - Brakes

So My ‘41 Chevy sedan is SBC swapped, using stock pedals with THD chassis engineering MC for a mustang master cylinder. Messing with bleeding the brakes this weekend and found the brake pedal hits the motor / bell housing after only about 2” of travel. Is there a way to solve this without a firewall mounted pedal/master cylinders?

 

how far would you have to bend the arm to the left to make it clear the engine?

 

not very far. But i wasn’t sure how to make the pedal work on the inside without moving the floor opening. There isn’t a lot of space to the column.

 

I had the same problem back in 1965 on my '40 Chevy coupe. Back then, I got a huge crowbar
and just pried the pedal over until it cleared the motor. Never had an issue with it. and drove it
hard for 5yrs. after. Bob

 

I cut mine and welded it to the side that was enough to clear

 

What did you do with the piece through the floor? did you have to move the floor opening over?

 

So I might be crazy, but something acts like it shifted since it was in last time. Here is a pic from a while back. I never recall the pedal hitting. Ugh!

 

yes i'm sure i did move the hole/ seal down and out...that much
