I would really like to include both power brakes and a hydraulic clutch in this build. In looking at the available options out there, it appears as though it's a challenge to get both things incorporated into either of the Ford pedal box options, and with the Wilwood setup it looks like modifications will need to be made to the brake pedal. I'm sure many people have done either (or even both!) so I would love input regarding which direction is easiest and most reliable.
Thanks

I have a hydraulic clutch and hydroboost power brakes using the Wilwood pedal box. Mike Forte does a nice brake pedal modification for the Wilwood pedal box. He also supplied my hydroboost setup and has a couple of options for the tandem master cylinder.

Pick which one you want to modify. Plus/minus for each. Modifying the Wilwood pedal box to add power brakes -- with the chassis mounting setup already in place (hint hint). Or modifying a Mustang pedal box to add the hydraulic clutch, of which there are aftermarket options. My #5125 build had a Mustang pedal box and it was relatively easy to add the Whitby vacuum power brakes but no hydraulic clutch. My #7750 build had a Wilwood pedal box with the Forte hydroboost power brakes and a hydraulic clutch. Both worked OK. But Roadster builds since then have been the Wilwood pedal box without power and hydraulic clutches. Easy bolt in. Once I got used to the non-assisted brakes, and they were properly setup, no regrets. Just saying...
