There's usually a lot of spare room on the backplane plate, even of something like your FSCSI2 card, either above or below the primary connector.
Yours might be more difficult to place due to the larger connector. VidCards & NICs are easy!
Oddly enough, the only Macs in my collection that will remain forever safe from re-casing are actually the only two Q800 Road Apple Cases in the menagerie. The 8500 and 840AV are the supports for the MacCoffeeTable™ that was the first example of, and the impromptu inspiration for, the entire MacFurniture™ collection. Go figure! :
At any rate, I agree with beachycove, the 840AV should probably remain stock. Not only was it the be-all-n-end-all dream machine of the Quadra line, that also made it the right side bookend of the 68k era for all intents and purposes, if not in fact.
