I am converting a 4cyl lx to a 5.0 lx and i wanted to know if i need to swap the 4cyl master cylinder for a 5.0 master cylinder. And if so do i need to swap the booster too?... I have a booster and mc from a gt but I don't want to swap if I dont need to.

well yeah im going to probably be running the pbr's off a 2001gt with the sn95 swapped front if not then just the regular sn95 brakes... so I assume that still means the gt booster and mc?

The booster is a diffferent size. The 5.0 won't fit in with the 4 cyl booster.

Which MC to run all depends on what brakes you plan on running.

Also, the 4-banger booster is tiny. I'd definitely want to swap to at least a 5.0 booster...but preferably a Sn95 booster.

WHat rear brakes are you going to run when you go 5-lug? That will dictate which MC you need to run
