Try this:http://www.discbrakeswap.com/Mustang...s%20SWAP1.html

(The 65.PBU power brake upgrade kit has all new parts including booster, bracketry, power master cylinder upgrade, hose, power brake pedal push rod, and hardware. The kit can only be applied to 64-66 automatic transmission equipped cars. This kit is shipped with no additional S&H charge when purchased with a SWAP kit.)

Works on V-8 equipped cars, if yours is an I6, then you would need to upgrade your spindles.

PS- I'm not advertising, I just bought this sytem for my wife's 65. There are other choices, this happens to be the one I chose.

Just got it yesterday and only opened one box.
It should be an easy install, EXCEPT that there will be some new plumbing required. You're going from a single system to a dual system with a propotioning valve, so I will have to buy some brake line and bend it into place. Also, if I were you, I would buy the OE type proportioning valve and not mess with the "adjustable" valve that comes with it, the seller will sub the OE version for some extra $$. (that's what I did).

I'll try to take some pics as I go along with the install this weekend.
