Post by evensteven13 »

my junk scrounging begins, is the 1979 Lincoln Towncar the right set up to get for the swap?

Didn't know Ford cars other than the mustang used them.

I've heard the Ford mustang ones don't work right in a truck. I used one from a 4BT breadvan in my last swap and have gotten a couple from K30's, astro vans, etc.

Mid to late 70s big Lincolns. Check the Fords and Mercs too, Ford did plenty of wierd crap.

It's been discussed here quite a bit. Do a search for Hydroboost and you'll have plenty to read.

I saw a hydro boost on 89 f450, at the pick and pull didn't
grab it, (I should have). I use a hydro boost from a P30 gm chassis on my Highboy. This choice made other mods and adaption. Have a couple of pics in my gallery. I used after market stainless steel brackets, I tired 67-72 vacuum booster brackets didn't give the correct angle.
