Re: Front Disc brake and no booster
I don't have any pics that can top that but I am running disc in the front, drums in the back with no booster and the original style MC. It works great, not overly firm but just right. I do have a manual trans which helps, as I can push the clutch in and am not having to overcome the torque converter.
Nice pic!

Re: Front Disc brake and no booster
These are the only photos I have back when I was running front disc brakes and no booster. I was running a 350/350 back then. After a couple of years my back couldn’t take the pressure any longer and I had to install a booster. Manual brakes are fine for a regular healthy person, but not so hot for someone with missing spinal discs.

Re: Front Disc brake and no booster
Im fixing to run this set up on my 63. Disc up front non-booster and drum rear. Im running a pretty radical cam in my 427 BBC and didnt want any vacuum issues. Dont have p/s or i would have gone w/a hydrobooster. I do have the prop valve assembly though to help w/the rear brakes.

Re: Front Disc brake and no booster
I installed the factory 1975 prop valve on mine ever since the front disc brakes were added. I mounted it below the engine on the front crossmember to keep the area near the booster clear. Here's a rather ugly picture that shows the location below the left engine mount:
