Like Tubo says....Howdy, and welcome.  I think you'll find that this is the place. 

I just bolted the MS GT brake brackets and "take-off" GT brakes on to our 66...no hassel, no strain.  You may not be able to run exacty the wheels you want but there are quite a few that will work.

As for the booster "kit", on the early cars it's necessary to add two holes to the f-wall but I really don't know about the 69.  Worst case, you will have to add a couple of holes.  MS will sell you a finished pedal hanger or you can mod your own with the addition of a reenforcing/adaptor plate that welds to the front of pedal hanger.

I believe the power brake  pedal Steve mentions is the real PB pedal as opposed to a modified manual pedal.  Either way it's something you want to do as the PB pedal has a bit less leverage and a bit more MC travel for any given pedal travel.  The manual or un-modified pedal can make things a bit grabby, I believe.  Our's is a modified manual pedal and the brakes feel just like our late model.

When you take off your drums don't pitch the hubs.  You will need the stock drum hubs to mount the GT or Cobra rotors.

I haven't looked at what Steve's kits come with as I put ours together bit by bit about seven years ago but it it comes with the MC, yes, it will be dual type made for the application you specify.  As for the hoses, I just don't know but a quick email to MS will answer all your questions...or he may just jump in here.

Again, welcome to the forum.  Good luck with your project.  And if you're not busy in late Sept. come to the Bash in Vandalia, Ill.  Good times guaranteed.

I'll reply after I post one more time(it tells me I need to post 3 times before I can send a message back).

Welcome to FYI.

The power brake pedal is quite different than the manual brake pedal.  I suggest you check out my FAQ page on boosters abd pedals.  I have pics of the booster as well as a Ford original firewall template on there.  I use only Ford rebuilt Bendix boosters for 67-70 power brake conversions.  You cannot beat original parts.  The booster bolts right up with the addition of one hole and removal of the threaded swedged inserts in your pedal support so the booster studs can go through the firewall.  The longer pedal bolts in with a 3/8" pivot bolt and steel tube.  The holes for it are already in your pedal support.

Email me and I will send you the instruction sheets for the disc swaps.  Hopefully your car had 5-lug wheels.  If it had 4-lug, then you will be able to use your spindles but will need some V8 hubs.  I have some if needed.

Do your homework on the Borgeson with a 351C engine.  I have not tried it, but there might be clearance issues,  If you have not already bought the 351C, I would strongly encourage you to go with a Windsor instead.  Whole lot better engine with taller deck height and better rod ratios.  Plus they will still run at low speed, with a whole lot more torque.  And parts are alot easier to come by since alot of them are same as 5.0 parts.

MAster cylinders do not come with the booster kit.  Pick out which one best suits your needs and I have them in stock.  You will need to make new hard lines, but it is alot easier than you think.  Old lines are hard and brittle.  New ones are malleable and easy to form and flare.  One of our cohorts is working on testing a new brake hose for me, but seems to be slow getting things going due to other priorities.  This is NOT a kit where you pull everything out of a box and it fits your particular car.  Anyone that sells you a kit and tells you theirs is that way is likely not enjoying reality.  EAch car is custom fit and you need to have a pretty good understanding of what you are doing.  This forum is here to help, and if you are smart enough to ask ANY QUESTION before you attempt to do the work, then be assured there are no dumb questions.  The expertise is here and will help and guide you, sometimes with more detail than you ever imagined.

Be sure to check out the BASH forum.  Maybe we will see you there.

Really? I see a lot of praises go to the cleveland 4v.

Another vote for the Windsor, a far superior engine for the street and they can make great power. The 4v Cleveland only shines above 5k rpm, a place most street cars rarely ever see.
