Firewall brake booster

I’m going to install a firewall mounted master cylinder, I’m looking at a 8” booster but see there is a 7” available as well. Has anyone installed either of these and is there a clearance issue that I would need the 7”? I have a 302 engine and it appears to have plenty of room.
Any thoughts or pictures would be appreciated and brands/ where you purchased.

Thanks
Joe

I believe mine is an 8"....It is a CPP kit.
You'll have no problem with clearance.

booster

I used the 8" and 7" and both work great, just make sure you got the LOOPS in the lines-- you can not believe how the CAB and FRAME move and this is the stress point at least gives me confidence-- Good Luck

I too used the same set up as the others posted in my 49 and you will have plenty of room. Sorry my pictures are missing at this time.
