Thanks again.

Man, this is like pulling teeth.

Have you installed the clutch, flywheel, Z bar, linkage, pedals, adjusted everything, fired the engine and determined that there's an issue - i.e., that you can't disengage the clutch and/or get a good clutch pedal release point with things as they are now?

It also looks like the transmission is clocked, as if you had an adapter plate intended for a third gen or have the transmission mounted in the wrong set of holes in the adpater.

Finally, have you checked driveline angles. There appears to be a LOT of room in your transmission tunnel.

Go hydraulic.
