When I did the hydroboost conversion on my rig, I started with the angled bracket and attaching the booster to it. Then I used a Corvette master cylinder because I was using 4 wheel discs. I left the factory H block and added an adjustable proportioning valve in the rear circuit. I purchased adapter fittings to allow the use of AN style fittings on the hoses Both of my hoses ended up being close to the same length and had the same fittings. Made carrying a spare real simple.

Don't rule out a Ford powerstroke hydroboost unit. That's what I used on the crawler and the mounting was very easy. I ended up moving the brake pedal over to the clutch pedal position and it lined up like a charm.
