You could probably fit a universal power system under the floor but it would have to be a small one. The frame depth is about 6" give or take so not quite as deep as a small 7" vacuum booster portion. You might have to consider hydro or electro boost systems if you don't want something hanging down. If you have torsion bars, they present another clearance issue.

The bigger problem is pedals. I don't believe any of the stock Packard linkages would work a power setup without significant mods. The BTV suspended pedal is a no go but If you have manual now then possibly the connection point could be reworked to change the ratio. Could you get the works in the same space as the current master to use the linkage lineup is a question. You might have to consider some kind of universal pedal.

If you have manual now and just want a dual master cylinder, that should be doable with several different cylinders. Revise and add some plumbing, a different mount or change holes on the frame rail, and a remote fill or a larger floor fill opening.
