Clutch fork won't clip back in.

Is it normal to have no play in there? The fork is hard up against the bell and the bearing is hard up against the clutch.... My car is a factory 383 - 4 speed car, I'm using the same bellhousing and fork and flywheel, but it now got a 440 and a 18 spline gearbox and a ram clutches Borg and beck style clutch.
