MP Brakes (www.mpbrakes.com) sells a "hot rod" universal fit 7" booster, but it mounts directly to the firewall and I'm sure there isn't room. I modified a Ranger booster to fit my existing booster bracket, but took some cutting and welding of the rod that goes into the booster (and doesn't easily remove!). That procedure can be a bit delicate.

What about the S/C booster?  Seems to me they were stock in the "normal" place, but was a reduced size version, maybe like the 7" Geo you mention above.  I've noticed these as I'll probably upgrade to power booster on my '69 (currently it's got later front discs, but is still manual) and have looked at S/C's at shows.  I don't recall if I've seen other Americans with power boosters now that I think of it...
