Hilux small block Chev clutch hydraulics

I'm finding the clutch a bit heavy in my 350 chev powered YN65. I've got the standard Toyota 5/8 master cylinder and I believe the standard 13/16 slave.
I'm told it's not really do-able to go smaller in the master cylinder as 5/8 is pretty much the smallest they come. Going to a 1 inch slave will reduce the weight of the pedal, but might not give sufficient throw to actuate the pressure plate.
Re-locating the pivot point on the pedal to give more leverage is an option, but a real hassle.
Anyone been down this road and know the least difficult answer to getting a less heavy pedal?
