Travis, you were reading my mind on the master choice. Find what the first year was for a 4 wheel disk on a vette, and compair that master cylinder with yours. You need to pay special attention to the spot where the pushrod goes. You want it to be the same depth as your current one. Some are almost flat, while some are concave an inch...that would cause almost no pedal, it would swing freely for the first 3/4 of the way down or so.
As for a proportioning valve, i would install a drum/drum one, and then an adjustable one in the line going to the rear wheels. That way you could fine tune it.
Even after all this, you'll probably be surprised at how little your braking is improved. I did it once on my old 13 second Honda, (yes, i used to be on the dark side) and I felt violated when the results were so minimal...it also slowed me down a 10th in the 1/4 due to the added weight and the added friction.
