Cool, sounds good. I'm more familiar with the Chevy braking system so I know exactly what to do for one of those. Ford uses that little valve that screws onto the master cylinder to take care of the proportioning, so I don't know if just removing that would boost the pressure but the fronts still have to grab slightly before the rears do for better control. On a Chevy the stock proportioning valve would be removed and replaced with an adjustable one. I think for lines all you will have to do is add rubber lines from the steel ones to the calipers since the calipers actually move with wear.
