Banging head on wall I'm researching a 2.3 to 5.0/5.8 conversion.  Will the master cylinder and brake booster out of the 2.3 work for 5.0 breaks.  Struts? I'm planning on using the 2.3 springs.

Thanks

I beleive so, but if you look at a 5.0 and 2.3, the brakes are all different sizes, and for good reason. It's a lot easier to slow down a whimpy 4-banger than a powerful V8. You may want to consider upgrading the entire brake system to V8 specs.
