master cylinder upgrades

im in the processes of upgrading my brakes, i did as ls1 rear brake swap a while ago and now im going to do a c5 or standard c6 swap on the front, what have you peoples done to upgrade the mastercylinder? i dont want to replace or re-flare all my brake lines, but if i have no choice i will do it.

oh the car was stock with drums and crappy iron front calipers

Re: master cylinder upgrades

Did you ever figure anything out on this subject? I can't find anything using the 'search' function and a 20 year old master cylinder looks WAY out of place in a cleaned up engine compartment..... Nitro

Re: master cylinder upgrades

the 4th gen masters fit, the small lines that go between the master and the prop block need to be modified, i was able to modify the small line to work, but i had to make a new line for the large side. and you need the push rod? piece from the 4th gen booster that pushes the piston inside the master as the end is shaped differently.
