I've had the same issue as you, with the engine as far back as poss then the clutch fouls. I've moved mine forward so the clutch has clearance, I'm glad I did. I have used part of the MX5 bulkhead and pedal assembly for my brake, clutch and throttle pedal set up. I have kept the MX5 servo as well. It gives me about 7mm clearance between the brake master and the intake manifold. Just enough I hope. (I've also used the steering column as well). I have Equinox bodywork and have about 5-8 mm clearance over the top of the engine with the engine mounted similar to yours (ish) with about 40 - 50 mm sump protruding, again ish as I haven't measured it exactly.
