I have basically the same combination 350/700R4. I moved the original crossmember back just behind the rear of the 700R4 and fabricated a new pedal bracket using the original pedal/bellcrank. In my case I wanted power brakes to go with the Jaguar IFS. Whatever you do, the structure provided by the original crossmenver for frame rail twist should be retained with either the original trans crossmember or a new one that provides comparable resistance to frame rail twist in that area.
CPP among others sells brackets to mount a new master cylinder with or without the brake booster. My frugal side (the Bobby in me) drove me to build my own bracket. Most buy the available bracket. I have more time into the bracket than I should.

But any day spent on my truck is a day well spent.
