hydro boost brakes?
has anyone here installed hydro boost brake master cylinder? to get away from brake vacum boster/ you find these on diesel f350 or on medium duty trucks. i am thinking on installing this system on my 77 f250 4x4. i did this conversion on my 94 f250 4x4 and it made a big differance in stopping power.

haven't done it yet but I plan to.
I'm putting a cummins in my 74 crew and I'm ditching the vacuum booster to go hydroboost hopefully.
From what I have heard from the few people I know who have gone hydro - it's worth the $/time for the swap.

I have hydroboost already on my f600.. but Im doing a 4 wdb conversion so I need to upgrade the system
What I have done before I think will work well in this application
chevy hydroboost with a p30 van 4wdb master cylinder... each port has plenty of volume for the rear discs...
If any of you ford gurus have a ford suggestion let me know.. Ill investigate it as well... my suggestion works.. Ive done it before.. but Id love to stay all ford.. especially if I can get something to bolt up.. I could also retain my huge factory hydroboost if I could find a 4wdb master that would work ,,,so thats an option as well
time for research

I was planning on using chebby parts as I've never seen a Ford equivolent.
I haven't looked real hard though as I'm more of a:
"the parts that do the job" guy
rather than a
"the parts that have _____ logo on um" guy.

Take a look at the 82-87 Lincoln Continental. My '83 had hydroboost brakes running off the power steering pump.
