I moved this thread from the Builds Forum

As the title indicates, I am about to test my new 200R4 Overdrive. But need to replace my old single string brakes with modern system, while my front end is off. I just bought a universal frame mounted power brake system. It looks great but does not fit because I had to install a new mid-crossmember to hold the rear of my 200R4 Transmission.

I remember a 12 port news article about hollowing out an old Chevy master cylinder and the brake peddle in its current mounting location on the frame. A long shaft or threaded rod would go through the vacated cylinder to activate the modern booster and dual brake master cylinder. This idea lets you place the booster and master cylinder where they will not be in the way of other structures. I would like to find a reference to that old 12 Port News article. and the author.
