Hello, as the title shows I'm planning on installing power brakes on my 65 Dart with the 273 v8. I have a new master cylinder with brake booster. Checked and it says it will fit it as long as the engine isn't a big block or hemi. And I wanted to know if anyone has tired or has installed power brakes on a Dart this old with or with out the 273 in it.

I have installed power brakes in a 66 Barracuda . All just bolts in. I did an original booster with vac tank and original master.

NOT the top picture I thought I had deleted it. That is manual disk brake setup on a 66 Barracuda.

Welcome BeetleDart. My two cents...I upgraded from a one pot to a dual master cylinder on my Cuda, which already had a power booster. I went with a 1 1/16” cylinder. The pedal is rock hard, not too happy with it. Will be changing to a 15/16” shortly. Best of luck.
