either go manual brakes... or pick up a COMPLETE hydrobooster setup. thats the only way around that thing. 100 to 150 is around average for the complete set up

the v6 is vacuum booster, the gt cobra use hydroboost (powersteering) booster. the 96 to 98 boosters are smaller than later models. thats what i used.

You will also need a radiator, fan and a complete exhaust setup in case you didn't realize those as well...just FYI..

i have the whole lincoln but not much else is needed there but a few more things here......

i have a cobra catless H-pipe and cobra manifolds ..... but what about the fuel lines.....

my car has one and the mark has 2, is it safe to use the one line that goes into the cannister as a return line?
i know i would have to disconnect it from the cannister but would it work or should i yank the ones off the mark ?

Easiest way, is get fuel lines off earlier car with return style system. You don't want to mess with evap. system, it's connected to the ECM and lets the tank breath. Lines from the MarkIII would come up 3 or 4 feet short and not be bent right.
