I recently converted to 5 lug rear brakes out of an SN95. My question is, is the 1985 Towncar Master cylinder the easiest / most affordable swap? What else would i need to complete? Thanks!

Then to answer your question, yes the town car 1" mc is what you want.

You might want to install an 87-93 v8 booster, and gut the prop valve and install an adjustable too
