Master Cylinder......three to two port conversion??

I've been reading some about the MC swap I'm going to embark on.....I'm not exactly a brake guru so please provide input!! 

The '93 Cobra MC I plan on using will only have two ports so I have a couple options.  Since I'm going to be completely redoing the braking system, I was just going to run a two line system from the Cobra MC and not adapt back to the three lines. 

The plan is to take a single line from the port that feeds the front brakes, install a line lock and split after the line lock it to go to both front wheels.  Then run the back port line through an adjustable prop valve then the entire way back to the rear.

This would eliminate a stock prop valve and the whole deal with having to gut it and get a plug.

Your thoughts??

The Hurst line lock I have has provisions to use it as a tee for both front brakes.

Good to know since I'll be needing to buy one!!  That will make one less connection to splice in.

Do a search on ebay for the seller parts_plus_more he is an expert on this and has ALL the parts needed for the conversion at good prices. I just used him for my Turbo Coupe 8.8 rear end with disc brakes swap on my 87 cougar.

Looked him up.  Prices at Late Model Restoration are the same.

Those prices are a steal compared to what they want up here in Canada for em, if you can even find em. They want $200 just for a cobra MC at the local parts store.
