pretty easily, but you have to modify the mounting flanges just a bit.
THe neat thing is that you can get all different diameter Nissan parts. The 280Z, 310, roadster, etc used the vertical bolts, and the holes are just 1/4" too far apart.
Noone else, in the UNIVERSE, used vertical bolts... at least, in the scrapyards I frequent...
The Volvo MC (on MY car, others may differ) was 7/8", and I found a 15/16" on a 280, a 13/16" on the 310, and my roadster has a 3/4" diameter. So if you feel comfortable messing around with hydraulic ratios, you can adjust the "pedal travel versus pressure" ratio.
Of course,
if you're not comfortable with this, the online parts vendors WILL sell you a '68- only MC, for $200+, that LOOKS for all the world like a horizontal pattern cylinder with an aluminum adaptor...
