I just picked up a nice '71 with a Mustang 5.0 conversion and the first order of business is some power brakes. So I need something that will clear that 5.0 manifold. The manual m/c isn't cutting it. Disc brakes already added to the front d44 and they are working pretty ok for manual brakes. I'm leaning toward the vacuum booster kits I'm seeing for ease of install and pricing; it looks like the hydroboost set ups are more expensive although I do have hydro assist steering already. For this one I think I'd rather buy a kit and have it all there rather than sourcing junkyards for parts.
So I see some kits require fender modification which I have no idea what is involved in that, and I saw a kit from Tom's that shows no modification. Any performance difference between those kits? Any advice and insight appreciated. Also I'm only 36x12.50, and it's highly unlikely I'll run anything bigger. I don't want to jump in to this too fast and regret something, but I also want to do this right away. I searched and found some info, but was hoping if I posted I'd get some more help.
