Has anyone over done this?  I am swapping to a stock style setup with the kelsey hayes calipers.  The specific question I have is that when I swapped out the master cylinder from drums to discs, the brake pedal now sits a few inches higher than it did.  I assume I need to swap out the pushrod to the master cylinder to a shorter one but thought I would ask before making any changes to the pushrod.

Thanks!

Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

Yes, I always do it now. It seems like I always build basket cases so I've never swapped one out per se but I would just go for an adjustable pushrod if you're having that problem.
I don't see a downside to this swap at all and am not sure why people seem to think they need PB. I used to use a non PB, disc brake, A-body M/C but my last few builds I've used this one.
