Go to stangaholics.com and look at their billet aluminum unit. About $400.00 and they say it will fit a straight drive.

Go with the modern hydra-boost setup that's currently in use on the new Stangs.

BTW, why you looking for a big booster? All you need is pressure multiplication. Size of the booster has some to do with it, but the right master cylinder will make much more of a difference, as would adjusting the pressure between the front and rear brakes properly.

That mastercylinder/booster from stang-aholics doesn't appear to be a dual bowl. Is it?

Looks like a dual to me - two outlets, two bosses to the reservoir.

Yeah, I see that now. It's just that most duals have two different sized bowls and you can tell by just looking at the bowls.

Darn, it's from a John-Deere, early one at that.
