Who's running hydroboost with a 351W and no BL?

Who's running hydroboost with a carbed 351W and no BL?
How tight is it?
Is a particular setup needed to avoid clearance issues?
Don't really want to have to butcher the fire wall.

Thanks.

I think WH catalog had good photos of this...

I am running this setup with tall valve cover to clear roller rockers and there is plenty of room on mine. New poly body mounts, no body lift. I will get pics.

Here is a 351W, Ford GT-40 EFI set-up with an offset Hydroboost Bracket. NO clearance issues what so ever, especially with a Carb. Can get to everything easily.

Body lift or not does not matter either as far as the Hydroboost goes. Pictured with a 1" Body Lift.

Zero mods to the Bronco to install.

This Bracket can be found on eBay. Great quality, VERY easy to install and takes the Astro Van hydroboost and MC.

Thanks for the pics guys.
What about the stock throttle linkage? Will it need to go?

 

[Mountain Ram]

Rguest- what MC is that?

I have to disagree on the body lift statement... The BL will move the HB up away from the engine...

I ditched the throttle linkage. Duffs sells a Lokar kit that works well!

Mountain Ram - MC is from an 94-95 Astro Van. Cardone #13-2534

Gotcha on the BL moving the HB higher, but should not be a problem with this bracket.

I have converted to Throttle Cable for all 351Ws.

Thanks, wanting a newer one... Is it metric or std fittings.

10-4 on your HB bracket. Mine is mounted right in line with the stock brake pedal and no issues (until I blow a motor mount).

 

[rguest3]

I would guess Metric and they are bigger. If I remember correctly, The Brake Line fittings came with it. (or I just had the correct one's handy) I installed on line and re-flared.

I ran a mustang hydroboost with a 351 and no body lift. Fairly tight but cleared and worked great for years.

I don't make it to the pick n pull yards very often so I was thinking about maybe just picking up one of these and keeping my stock MC if I can.

Before you spend that much check out "Scrapman" on this site. He pulls them and sells them at a very reasonable price.

Yeah I'd say hit scrapman up if he doesn't have one right now and you want one I have two one for mine and an extra I'll sell the extra just need to dig it out.
