Brake master advice

I am getting closer to putting the brakes back in my stang. I have 2012 mustang gt brakes at all 4 corners. I am putting a 351c in my 68. space is tight, so I am trying to get recommendations on a brake booster, master cyl, portioning valve, and distribution block. I am going to have custom brake lines made and I plan to either use 2012 soft lines or have those custom made as well. Any input? Thanks guys.

Post up some pics..
 
No real pictures to post. The brakes were test fitted and I can't put them on until I get my new wheels and tires next week. The engine hasn't gone back in the car yet. I am in the pre-planning stage
 
I haven't researched a thin booster for your fit but would suggest the wilwood all In one distribution / prop valve. The 84-86 SVO came 4 wheel manual disc if you go that route for an MC.
 
Do you plan on using a booster? Where are your space concerns? Are you worried about hitting the valve cover?
 
Huh? Your original post is asking for recommendation for a brake booster and now you say you're not going to use one? If you aren't using a booster, then you shouldn't have any clearance issue. If you use a booster, the clearance issue is how close to the shock tower the MC resides.

Also, is your car resting on wheels or jack stands? If on jack stands which I highly recommend, you can install you brake calipers, run your brake lines, etc.
 
I got mixed up. I ended up buying a wilwood brake master cylinder and proportioning valve that doesn't use a booster. I found some flex lines for the caliper to hard line connections. I just need to get the hardlines done once I put all the brake parts on. right now its on the roller wheels.
