i dont know what would be the easiest way, but are you wanting to stay vacum or have you considered going power assist? I know there are conversions on the market to install 1 ton power assist setups into jeep vehicles. i currently have the wilwood set up for my brakes and its simple and easy to install. its not vacum or power assist, more like old school manual. guess it depends on what you are doing with the vehicle. Are you junkyard shopping for parts or looking for off the shelf stuff, or top shelf stuff?

I just put 1 ton's under my YJ and didn't do anything to the master cylinder, now that I think of it thats the only original part left.
