Look for one from a 83+ T-Bird. They are about 6" in dia and about 6" long. Master Cyl and everything should fit. They are used for the 460 in a Fox body, and even clear the valve covers. I have a complete one with master cyl if you want more info on the dementions. A friend of mine is restoring '34 Ford coupe. He had converted to power brakes on the car. He has used the power booster and master cylinder from a late '80's/early 90's Plymouth Laser, which came from the factory with 10" brakes.
This unit is signifcantly smaller (diameter and thickness) than the Granada units I have seen and will even fit in my '74 Maverick with little problem. He claims that I can by a correct length pedal-to-booster rod to use my existing pedal assembly.
Does anyone here think that this booster will be effective in stopping my car (if I choose to do this conversion)? I am not thrilled about putting a Chrysler product on my car, but, I would love to have power brakes. Any other suggestions?
