I haven't made up my find yet on a front suspension, whether to keep it stock or do the crown Vic install but I am switching to the 302 engine and t5 tranny to keep the truck as a manual. I need to totally redo the brakes and found a new master cylinder in an ad from a guy near me. It has the bracket and also the 8 in booster to upgrade my brakes.

My question is with the setup I'm looking to run will I have fit issues with the exhaust, tranny, or anything else I'm thinking of that would make the stock master cylinder not fit? Or would I need to move it to the firewall?

Thanks
Mike

 

I don't think you will have any blocking issues. it will get tight and the exhaust will probably have to run under the master.. least thats the way I am doing it with a larger/later engine & tranny.

is the T5 hydraulic clutch? I have about 7 inches of clearance from the end of the brake arm to the transmission for the clutch connection stuff.

Thanks for the help. Looking at my notes I believe I wrote down the wrong transmission as looking at the t5 I believe due to the tail shifter location that the shifter would be to far back in the cab... Correct?

 

I'm using the T5 behind my 302 from a 84 Capri and it does sit back a little further than those from S10 but still okay if you use bucket seats.
