See the thread "FC Master Cylinder in FB". It touches on the 929 option, with a link to an even older thread specifically about a 929 MC conversion.

But more importantly, what type of improvement are you looking for? A 929MC has larger bores, which would increase the pedal pressure required to get the same amount of deceleration. Unless you're trying to correct a specific problem, a direct replacement is probably your best bet.
