Your problem may be resolved by moving this bracket back as suggested AND getting the V8 clutch pedal to Z-Bar rod. What does your clutch pedal rod look like? The I6 is a nearly straight rod, the V8 version has a "dogleg" in it. (or is it the other way around, i forget)

Also, your VIN's second character should be a letter indicating origial engine type:

I = straight 6
M = V6
E = V8
