I am setting up a CBB kit for my 69 F-body. I have drum spindles/hub, LS1 calipers and a hydroboost unit that accepts a deep style MC. I will be fabricating my own bracket to mount the calipers.

I have 2 questions;
1. What 13" rotor can I use? (I wanted a aftermarket drilled and slotted set)

2. What MC can I use? ( I want to use a newer type, maybe from a 99 Camaro?)

Thanks for all the help, If it wasnt for this forum my car would be bland and boring.

Front rotor- use the C4 rotor, the C5 is thicker.

You can figure all this out by looking here:

I highly recommend the speedtech brackets, its a better solution than a flat bracket and spacer arrangement, and one of the least expensive parts of doing the conversion. Buy a pair and you won't regret the expense for a second.

Some photos of my C5 conversion at the link below.

Almost forgot- You are on the right track with the master cylinder choice. 98-up F-body w/4wheel discs. I picked mine up on ebay for $23.
