Bit o "stretch" and that'll fit nicely into the dropouts no?
Upgrading to V brakes as well as changing the levers?
Love old specialized mountain bikes, ever since this free vid I got with either mbuk or total mtb which was all the late 80s/ early 90s guys killing it on fully rigid stumpjumpers.

Same story here: To me - Red Specialized = JMC
I also remember those VHS's free on the front of MBUK - this one here was a favourite of mine:
Hoping the QR will hold ok in the dropout and allow time for chain stretch - time will tell.
Wasn't planning on Vee's though - I quite like the old "not even low profile" Deore Canti's - really good modulation - BITD I was running them right up until '97 when I switched to Magura HS33 blues

Built this today - much fun - will be more so when I dig out a half-link to get the chainlength right - total cost was £12 and the only parts from the parts bin were the saddle and pedals.
Will be fitting some better brakes (sans STI) and risers at some point soon
