Vacuum Assisted Hydraulic Clutch for a 1986 Mustang t5

Hey. I'm looking to convert my v6 auto to a V8-T5. I got the engine, now I have a question about the clutch.

Supposedly it's all done with a cable, but I'm looking into doing a hydraulic clutch. not only that I plan on pushing the engine to the max, so I'm going to need a clutch that can handle it.

I've heard that the higher in Power handling capabilities you go, the stiffer the clutch pedal gets.

Now I had an idea from a newer mustang, which uses power assist for the clutch.

if you took a brake pedal, with a break booster, caps off all outputs but one, and ran the vacuum hose to the "Clutch booster" and the other to the clutch actuator (which by the way, were can I get one?) would that work? and what kind of effect would it have?

you might look into converting to the thunderbird turbo coupe clutch set up.
it was a hydraulic set up.
