Has any one installed and know of a vendor to purchase a hydraulic boost?
I found one from CPP but it is 16” long. 3” longer than a stock vacuum booster and MC. 16” is doable but I would prefer not to take up more space.
Thanks Paul I put a kit from these guys on my '69 Super Bee a few years ago: http://www.hydratechbraking.com/Mopar_B_Body.htmlFits and works very well. From the firewall, to the end of the booster (including the aluminum mounting plate which replaces the stock mounting plate) is approx 7.25". I use a Wilwood master, so I'm not sure what the total length would be with a stock master. Paul

There were a few "homegrown" kits I've seen using a Chevy unit. It takes a custom mounting plate, using a 2001 ish Astro van. Probably can get in junkyard very cheap. I think you definitely need to use the more modern m/c. If I remember correct, Dale's Cuda shop has done it and used to sell the mounting plate. I asked about it a while ago and he only made a few of them, don't think he made anymore though. If you go this route, please post back what you used and total cost. I would like to add to my barracuda at some point. Found some more info, get all the stuff of of a diesel ram.... check out these threads, also supposed to be a lot of info on www.forabodiesonly.com https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/mopa...to-a-hyroboost-mc.174046/#post-911276395
