I made a little progress on this. I'm just about ready to drill a big hole in the firewall, but want to double check measurements once more. It looks like where I drilled the hole in the pedal rod gives me the exact amount of stroke as the master cylinder. I also fabbed up a reinforcement plate for the firewall, it'll weld to the factory pedal box.
