8BA and 39 Trans

[29FORDRPU]

Newbie here trying to figure out this issue I’m having. I have a 8BA and a 39 transmission. I have the correct bellhousing. The trans mounts to engine with no issues. The problem I’m having is when I push the clutch pedal in the throw out bearing doesn’t contact the pressure plate. Pulled the motor to measure the clutch and pressure plate. It’s a 9 inch clutch. Do I have to run a bigger clutch and pressure plate set up. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
