OP didn't state whether or not he wants to retain the power brakes.
If retaining the power brakes and original drum brakes, a stock replacement drum brake MC from a '67 PB car, like the Raybestos MC36221, will do the job. It'll bolt right to your '65 booster.

I changed over on my 65 300. Used the power brake MC from a 67-68 and got some lines from Stainless Steel lines for the MC to the distribution block.

Here is the engine bay in my '65 Coronet. It isn't a close up shot but you can see the aluminum/plastic master cylinder that I used. It has the 4 to 2 adapter but as others have pointed out, if you use a cast iron MC then you don't need the adapter. I stopped using cast iron master cylinders years ago since they rust during storage, but if you drive the car on a regular basis and change the brake fluid every couple of years you'll be okay. Hey Andy, what are those aluminum ears sticking up on your car?
