The guy who owned my car before me installed a thunderbird turbo coupe rearend in it and from what i can see, he put in the master cylinder, got rid of the stock valve that applies the rear brakes first before the front(forgot name of valve), it's in the proportioning block though, he used e-brake cables from the turbo coupe as well i think. I'm not exactly sure though. The E-brake lines from an SVO should work because it's the same system. He also used as many of the brake lines from the turbo coupe as he could, but re-routed from the master cylinder back to the hose from the rear axle housing.
You can also add a proportioning valve for better control, although my brakes work pretty good without it, you'd probably be able to stop faster by being able to apply more pressure to the front.
Hope this helps,
Rick
