IIRC, one poster has a power unit mounted in the original frame location. Can't remember his year but believe it is a pre 40 model so I think it can be done -- don't know exactly how he did it though. With some changes in the pedal and linkage to duplicate the V8 manual setup, a universal under floor booster kit might be able to point and mount rearward -- but would require the rod passing thru the rear trans support piece.

Other than that, to stick with standard brakes, I believe the options are limited in finding a new master in the original style. Because of the pre 51 mounting, don't think any parts stores have them. Kanter repro'd masters a few years back because of the unavailability. Whether yours could be re-sleeved is unknown but cost would probably be about the same as the repro.
