Default Another 63 Disc Brake Conversion Question

I know this may have been discussed before however I am going to ask again. I am in the middle of redoing the engine compartment on my 63 Roadster and a front suspension rebuild. While I have it apart I am contemplating doing a front disc conversion. My question is this; the car is a factory power brake car with a newly rebuilt brake booster, I know these 63 boosters are one offs so I want to reuse the booster if possible. Is it possible to use a different master clynder with the factory brake booster or is the bolt pattern for the master cylnder unique to the 63s? I want to use a master clynder that would be more compatable to disc brakes. Your responses are welcomed and appreciated.

I have used my stock 63 brake booster with a variety of master cylinders over the years....with NO problems.

The spacing on the bolt pattern on a '63 master cylinder is the same as the other years. So any Corvette MC will bolt up.

Now you may have issues with the MC hitting the hood, so check your clearances before dropping the hood.
