4kq brake systems compatability

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

My 84' 4kq is in need of a new Brake Master Cyl.  upon investigation, I
have discovered that while a 5ktq MC is about $99.  And a newer (85-87)
4kq MC is about $145,  for an 84' 4kq which has the longer Brake MC, it is
about $250!!!!!   Yea, right.  I dont think so.  I see three options.
1)  BUy the expensive one and bite my tonge.

2)  Upgrade my MC to the newer MC style which I believe requires only a
new/used Brake Booster???  Am i right on this?  Is it very easy.  Is there
more that needs swapping.  

3)  Upgrade to the larger 5k/200 MC.  which I believe is the longer one as
well.  V8* has shorter o like newer 4kq???  I have heard from some it is
hard and not worth it, and from others that is is easy and worth it.  ???

OH, 4)   Almost forgot, go to a custom hose/pipe/fitting place and have
them re bore the old Mc and put in new seals.  Now idea of $$$$

BTW, I am after the best performance option.  I severely doubt my original
MC is the best option for braking.  If it is I will Cough up the 250.  If
not, i will pay less for the same or more for better if I have to.
WHatever.  Is the newer 4kq MC a better unit.  Better feel, better
clamping force?  
	BTW, I want good but I do have a budget so no one suggest using a
Tilton Dual MC setup please. :)
