i am just about to do it and have seen people do it. you can actually lower the brake booster by remounting it in the holes below the original one, oyu do have to re-drill one hole though.

it is possible

Don't mess around moving the brake booster. Just get a raised inlet manifold. They come up on ebay every now and again and they bolt straight on with clearance to spare. They look better and you can access the dizzy better as well.

hey im tryin to do the same thing to my mk2 escort. they dont fit in with the brake booster. Surely a booster and mastercylinder from another car would fit, a smaller one that doesnt take up half the engine bay...
