Re: '36 221 - rebuildable??
Its always best to have equal chamber cc but back in the day you got what was available .

Re: Flathead 8 and power brakes.
Check the amps required to run an electrical vacuum pump . I would just run the engine vacuum with a extra holding tank. Easier and probably cheaper . Just my opinion.
