Just an FYI on the Ford Hydraulic Master cylinder bore sizes.

1991 & 1992 Horizontal hose fitting 7/8"(.875) bore
1993 - 1996 Vertical hose firtting 18mm (.708) bore

The 7/8" bore in my opinion is way too stiff.
The 18mm can be found in both plastic and aluminum housings.
#CM350032- Tru Torque- Aluminum-Advance Auto- 56.00
#CM350032- Bendix/ Brake Best- Plastic- O'reilly- 46.00

Wilwood is an excellent alternative if so inclined.

I used a 3/4 Wilwood with the fitting on the top. It's a puny clutch master so it doesn't interfere with the power brake booster. The clutch in mine is perfect now. I think going any smaller with a diaphragm-style pressure plate would make the clutch too soft.

I've got the 3/4" Wilwwod on a stock style long and it doesn't seem to be enough, plus the petal is way too soft (feels like a Honda).

A firm petal says to me "I'm a heavy duty, bad ass clutch only suitable for manly men." Not really rationale, I know......
