Problem with gap has been solved. Brent ordered me a better suited pressure plate which had a lower clamping pressure, about 2300 lbs, as opposed to the 3200 lbs pressure plate. I didn't realize how difficult it would have been with such a high clamping pressure. It turns out that the lighter pressure plate overall height is lower than the other one. Enough that I have a little more extra free play. Finally, now I can move on with the rest of the build. Thanks for Brent for calling out the issue with the pressure plate pressure. Had I not run out of room in the bellhousing, I would have really been annoyed much later down the road with an impossible clutch pressure.
