A while lot more info is needed than what you have provided and the answer would still be, maybe.
I would plumb one in, but I have 13 letters in my last name.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

The OEM's spent a lot of time and money dialing in brake systems and figuring proportioning valve specs only to get it wrong (A bodies come to mind).
You're likely to get real close but find that the last little bit is off and an adjustable setup can let you dial it in right.

It all depends on how hard you are going to drive the car. Road race guys tweak the prop valve during the race as the fuel tank gets lighter. Most grocery getters have no idea what a prop valve is. Just depends on which end of the curve you are. When we did Tim's Valiant the prop valve was under the floor with the knob under the driver seat so Tim could adjust it while driving. That was a pretty hardcore setup though.

This being the handling forum I tend to think questions here are going to be more hard driving type than grocery getter type.
So I answer them with that thought in mind. Had this been the Q&A forum I probably would not have answered it the same.
