IIRC, the shifter in the Mustang was plenty far forward to start with. An ex-boss had a 67 390/4sp car, and he was reaching for all he was worth to get it into 3rd...
Open the tunnel hole up, modify the mount, and move it absolutely as FAR as you can go. I think the crossmember drops out, so maybe build more "dip" into it and drop the engine until pan/ground clearance becomes an issue. You'll have more fan to rad clearance, so move the radiator back if possible.
Different pedals or spacers between the pedal bracket and firewall will move the pedals back; which isn't a big deal, but that will allow YOU and the seat to move back, which IS big.
The thing is, once you go down that road, you have to do EVERYTHING possible, or the gains aren't worth all the effort.
