Pic request with AOD...
I am running into some possible clearance issues. I have a 53 with a 302efi/aod mustang II front. I am wanting to to put my power brake booster on the frame, like orginal. I am concenered that there is not enough room for this and header/exhaust. Does anyone have any pics of similar setups?

This chassis has a Volare IFS but that shouldn't make a difference since all the exhaust is behind the IFS. I will be running headers and the exhaust pipes will run just under the stock x-member. Here's the pic that you wanted...

Check with LMC truck as I just got their new 48 -56 Ford truck catalog and in looking through it they offer a setup that utilizes the stock pedal and mount like the one in the picture above in the post.

Thanks for the pic CharlieLed. Do you know if that is a 7" or 8" booster? I am wanting to keep my exhaust above the crosmember,judging from your pic there seems to be enough room to do that. Does anyone else have any insight?

That is an 8 inch booster...I beleive that it is a Corvette replacement unit. One thing that I might add, the rear transmission crossmember is just setting there to hold up the rear of the trans, it is not installed nor will it be because there is little room under the booster to mount that type of crossmember to the frame. I have another design in mind that will work much better than this one. Here is another angle...
