Saginaw conversion with Hydroboost pump Question

I am converting my 1994 460 XLT F250 to a saginaw power steering pump using the van power steering/ AC bracket, and upgrading to hydroboost at the same time. Can any hydroboost saginaw style pump work? I am leaning towards using the PSC SP1404 pump, I also have the original van pulley if that's important.

following because I’d like to do the same thing to mine, but also don’t know what high pressure hose to use to go from the pump to hydroboost

Can't speak to the sag running hydro-boost,(likely it will) but you will need to use the van pulley.

Shaft diameter is different from the std Ford corporate pump that your truck came with.

Doubt you will find a stock hose, most likely you'll need to get one made.

I've done the sag conversion on my f150, but since I've done a SAS and have 35" tires the brakes are pretty weak so been debating doing the hydroboost as well, just subscribing to learn more on it.
