As for the master cylinder, I used a no limit power brake bracket that uses the Mustang booster and master. I swapped out the regular master for one from an SVO/Cobra.
The install of the front cross member was very straight forward. The Great thing is that you don't have to worry about the geometry or the top hats like a Mustang 2 front end. Just make sure that the frame is straight and square and the cross never is where you want it. I centered the wheels in the wheel well opening on mine. .. a small difference. Two comments about the install/kit. The boxing plates are a bit short, I made longer ones. Second, depending on where you want the motor to sit.... modifying the firewall could be required. .
Thanks for the input. I appreciate the reply.
