What are you guys with tall deck blocks doing for brake boosters and master cylinders?

I recently dropped the "shell" of my tall deck SBC in my '71 and it doesn't look like there will be room to get the valve covers off for lash adjustments with the valvetrain in place due to brake booster interference.

I'm not totally opposed to running a manual set-up. The car will see less than about 2000 miles a year on the street.

The car was originally outfitted with power 4-wheel drum brakes. I'm likely putting Wilwood discs up front.

Jason, i dont have the problem, but i have an 8" power booster behind my M/C, gives alot more clearance then the stock one.

I've been working in that direction for a long time, its always nice to have more room then you need ;)
