I have a similar one setting on a shelf.  I bought it on eBay a couple of years ago from another vendor.  It had offset linkage to move the booster up like a '64 Galaxie with OEM power brakes.  If you want it, you're more than welcome to it.  If you have a Y-Block, OEM exhaust manifold clearance is an issue...FE not so much.   Eight inch booster was not big enough.  Worked great for typical stopping.  Ran out of boost for high speed/hard braking.  Switched it out for a Mustang GT hydraulic booster.

Two pages of reviews and threads on the Hamb about Rodparts. Most seem to be negative, but all the threads are old, so not sure what's up with that. If you do order from them, make sure you use Paypal to protect yourself.
