It's one of the reasons high horsepower automatic drag cars use GM transmissions, the bell housing is deeper.
You could of course have someone build a special one off converter (expensive) and space the trans back but then the crossmember needs to be moved and the driveshaft shortened. Maybe not a big deal in Ray's case but is in others. I had to do that when I converted my '92 diesel to a lockup. Everything had to move rearward 1.250".

details one crazy drama of a mechanic's DIY trans mod.
TLDR; he used an Ultrabell at the end, in front of a non-locking 46RH and manual OD switch. But, because of the thicker bell he had to use a smaller TC.

Actually sounds reasonable, and high-quality OD clutches are called for.
