I have a non-boosted dual master cylinder running disk on the
fronty/drums on the rear and am very happy with it.

I recently installed a disc brake kit on my 1958 Apache Stepside. Now I
would 
like to upgrade the master cylinder. The  PO installed a SBC motor with
a 350 
transmission. It has dual exhaust coming straight back.  I originally
thought 
to install a  new booster and master  kit but I am having second
thoughts. 
The booster takes up a lot of space and I am concerned about its
proximity to 
 the exhaust pipe. Now I am thinking about  a  dual master cylinder with
no 
booster. Will this provide enough braking power ? ( especially since
this 
will be my wife's toy )  Also ,  if I went with a booster,  is a single
or 
dual diaphragm more drivable

                                                   Thanks
