Going Hydro

[jsander]

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I posted been busy with work and family. It's good to see the board going strong. With winter approaching I am starting to slow down a little bit at work. Now its time to get back to work on the Bronco. I am wanting to upgrade my steering and brakes to hydro assist. Due to the limited amount of garage time I get these days, I'm having to shop online for my parts. I know I could do some of this cheaper by shopping at the junk yard but I would rather pay a little extra and get the complete kit on the first try.

This is what I found so far (these are estimates as I am going from memory and typing this on my iPhone)

Hydroboost kit from WH. $800.00
HD Pump w/pulley. $400.00
West Texas Off Road
Stage 2 Hyd Ram Kit. $600.00
Misc stuff I can't remember. $200.00


The big killer is the hydroboost kit from WH, anybody got any cheaper options before I pull the trigger on this order?

if you have a carb and a little body lift (not too sure how much) you can bolt the ford superduty f250 hydroboost unit to the firewall. Then with 2 summit racing adapters, you can have some aeroquip hoses made for 45 each and be set. You may need to have Vanco high flow modify your hydro unit for it to handle the flow og the added power assist ram. I am not the one to pick about all of this. Steve highlander, Pat Crawlin68 and others have a ton more experience.

Call Power brake sales in Sacramento, ask for Sandy. He is really good with all that is brake systems. Also, 80's GM cars like the Regal and diesel powered sedans used a hydro boost unit. Not sure of the combatabilty but may be worth a look if your out at PnP.
