a friend is building a 69 mustang.. already did the 429 BOSS shock towers.. got the motor in. part way thru a header build..
but the Brake master cylinder clearance is giving him issues..
you can see the issue here..

and .. yes. aluminum heads and another large aluminum piece the heads bolt to.. not shown. yet..
and i have been OK..
I used a S10 master cylinder on the last Mustang I did. It is about 1 1/2" shorter and bolts right up. It's the same bore. If you want I can look up the part number.

that would be great.. thanks.
Ok, I looked in my billing records, it's now stored on the cloud since it's been several years ago. I'll look it up in the morning.
I am not jealous of that job. :) An exercise in patience completely. :)
Well, it's not on the cloud either. Next step is to go to my supplier and see how far his records go back, because mine don't have the number, and NAPA has changed the number system
Okay the number that NAPA came up with is P2040. Application is 68 to 72 Buick Skylark with manual brakes among many others. No guarantee it will work for you, but it worked for me.

thank you.. i will pass that along to him.. he did find a company that creates a tapered spacer block to get the nose of the master upward..
just an update...
booster and master installed.. https://i.imgur.com/8EHQypb.jpg

Hello Wayne nice to hear from you
+ me on that. 8)
Wayne that turned out slicker'n owl snot on a greased glass doorknob, I tell you whut. :lol: Nice shoehorn job.
I've been dipped in that area before on the 70 Mach 1 job, just fitting a brake knob and header clearance on Z bar with headers on a 351 though. Not a happy place to access.

Dennis has been busy wedging stuff in his mustang. he is still building headers for it.. the aluminum heads have raised exhaust ports so it makes it tighter.. i think he has settled for Tri Y design instead of 4 equal or at equal as he can get primaries.
the clutch is going to be a McLeod concentric hydraulic slave and pedal linkage of so kind.. clutch master set up still in design ..
