    Thanks Darren.Thats an Encourageing message...By the way,the 303 is a great choice for a Street/strip cam..What heads are you useing?.I'm running close to the same combo C4 as you in my Mustang.It's stood up (so far)to the torque of 373 and 393 stroker ...Joe

    My engine isn't a 351 W, it's a Cleveland and with using those tall valve cover, no booster will be fitting anywhere near that firewall :D

    In fact, I just bought a billet aluminum master cylinder and have to relocate it an inch or more outboard to get it away from the cover. I'll have to cut my pedal frame apart and rework it for everything to fit and work right. I know I'll have to remove the M/C if I need to take that cover off in the future.

    It's all fun, isn't it? :yahoo:

    If it was easy,it woud not be unique nor an accomplicement to complete.
    It seems we're thinking parralell to each other.I picked up an non power
    brake pedal assembly from a 70/71 Maverick which pushs the booster
    rod straight out instead of an angle towards the engine.I believe it may
    also move the exit through the firewall outboard(hope,hope)allowing the
    booster/master brake to get clearance.I also got a small diameter Pinto/
    Must.II booster to help with the clearence..Will this work?only when I get
    to it will I know...Joe
