Default Pedal Positioning from scratch

Hey all,

I`m currently working on the pedal setup for my 67 Pro Touring fastback with Roushcharged coyote 5L - I`ve set the motor back about 4.5" into the firewall and as a result I'm running a Kugel 90 degree power brake/clutch pedal setup. I've got them positioned to the similar location to where the factory clutch/brake pedals would be but it doesn't seem to have enough travel for the pedal setup (based on laying the pedals flat on the floor and checking for max travel) It seems as though the clutch needs 6 1/4" and the brake around 7" Do these numbers seem right? my next potential solution is to go about modifying the pedals to get some more travel but I thought I would quiz everyone here seen as how this is my first time fabb'g something like this (as opposed to stock bolt in stuff)

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!

Also, totally not sure if this was the right sub forum to start this in?

Thanks for the help!

once you get fluid pressure you'll see 3-4 inches of travel.

meaning, once the system is filled and bled it should be about 3-4's total travel downward? Or once the pedal starts to push fluid 3-4" from there? Those aren't the same are they, I just finished a shift so I may not be thinking straight lol

Thanks for the reply and help!
