Power brake install options (hydroboost)
What are my options to switch an F100 to power brakes? I heard about a hydroboost system that is found on the Astro Van that may work because of clearance issues. I really don't have any knowledge on what to do for this switch.
I do have a power brake booster which will barely clear the tall aluminum valve covers I am using on a 428 FE. It does look just like correct one used on trucks like mine with a stock 360 FE with original valve covers. Those valve covers are shaped in such a way that the booster has plenty of clearance.
Basically, I just need to know what is the best/easiest way to convert to power brakes. I may have asked about this years ago, but then maybe someone has discovered a new way to convert this since then.
