No room for hydroboost?

I'm hoping for some help here, I have a 37 Ford that had S197 front disc, and explorer rear disc brakes, with a brake booster and corvette 1 1/8" master cylinder. I'm godzilla swapping it and also had to modifiy the frame Xmember for more room which doesn't provide room for the brake booster anymore. I also swapped in a stock set of 1940 Ford hydraulic clutch/brake pedals. 

This leaves me looking for a manual brake master cylinder for disc/disc, I assume a 1" bore, with the ports on the opposite side of vintage mustangs/ford.  

Your description of the required master cylinder could be a Corvette unit from 1967 or a 2000 Mustang V6, non traction control unit.

Thanks for the information. I think the aluminum one I have now is based off the corvette one and is rather bulky through out the body. The 2000 Mustang v6 one is intriquing because I actually have a 99-04 Mustang v6 parts car. How would I deal with the issue of the depth of the pushrod in the piston? I assume since its a power master cylinder that the bore for the push rod isn't very deep or am I wrong on this? I may have to pull it off tonight and investigate. Do these newer style master cylinders have residual valves?

Thank you

The engagement depth on the 2000 Mustang v6 non traction control master cylinder is 1” exactly like a Mustang 65-73 would have.

Thank You.
