I would go with the hanging pedal. Easier to deal with carpets and mats. Less tiring on the right leg on longer trips. Your SBC carb will be designed to work with a cable. My truck has the original pedal, but I used the hanging pedal on a previous project. I got the pedal and mounting parts from a donor car and the cable assembly from Lokar. This is what I mean (for illustration purposes):

Get the parts from a donor - should be cheap - maybe free if you are getting something else.
