Super T10 Front Bearing Retainer Options for Hydraulic Throw Out Clearance

[Ducs]

I am working on installing a Super T10 behind a SBC in my Malibu and I've ran into a bit of an issue. I need about 0.25" more space between my clutch pressure plate fingers and my hydraulic throw out bearing. My setup is:

- two piece main rear SBC
- GM 3973456 N flywheel
- McLeod RST Twin Disc 6911-07
- Howe Throwout Bearing 82870
- 79 F body Super T10

I am wondering if anyone is aware of any differences in extended clearance for throw out bearing in the Richmond Gear Bearing Retainers 1304027010 or 1304027001 ?

or.. Is there an aftermarket flywheel that has the friction surface closer to the engine by about 0.25" as compared to the 3973456 ?

or.....is there an other option to make it all fit the way it should ?

Thanks in advance !!

Just tossing this out there, do you have a flat finger or raised finger pressure plate? That needed .25" could be the difference between the two.
