We're going to modify the stock bracket and that looks good. The problem is the Mustang MC that was recommended has it's lines coming out the wrong side.(passenger side) I need one that can have the lines on the opposite side. This will remain drum/drum. | | |

It looks as though the drivers side is the best for the lines, though there's a crossmember not far back from the master as well. | | |

The lines turn down 90 right out of the master then forward toward the cross member, along the cross member to the passenger side frame rail, then one goes foward and the other back.
It might a little tighter with a 4 spd but I think it should work. Send me a PM if you want some pictures of my setup. I don't have the tecnology to post them here. I have the body off right now so every thing is right out there in the open.
Good Luck
