So I've got this beautiful motor about to sit on some beautiful Porterbuilt suspension with a nice smooth (almost done) firewall. However, I have this big ugly stock master cylinder/booster that just doesn't go with everything else. I need some suggestions on what I should do for a master cylinder/booster setup.

cpp has a billet setup that would look good with your setup, engine looks sweet

OARNGESI · 05-31-2011, 02:43 AM

Get a frame mounted one

68 SHORT-STEP'N · 05-31-2011, 02:56 AM

I think a billet set-up would top it off

gcburdic · 05-31-2011, 09:16 AM

hydro-boost maybe?

oldblue1968chevy · 05-31-2011, 01:17 PM

Powdercoated factory Mc with no PB and the prop valve mounted on the frame like 73+ model

Can you do the frame mounted one without taking the body off?

bruin_d · 05-31-2011, 01:18 PM

I need to check this billet one out that you guys are talking about. Sounds like it might fit my other stuff.

I also like that idea. I kinda wanted to keep the power brakes though.

Lots of suppliers sell the billet type with a smaller dia booster. I think they look real sharp, and will fit the nice look of your motor nicely

.

Here is a link with some more ideas.

i found out once you get something billet then everything else looks crappy until you replace it with more billet / billet m/c and powerbooster set up then its hood hinges which leads to others billet stuff its a madness

You hit the nail right on the head.

Your engine will NOT work with the "Stock" Master Cylinder.
You will need to put a stock 1994 350 GMC engine in it.
I just so happen to have one in my Truck.
I will take yours off your hands and you can have my Stock set-up.

(no need to thank me)

I actually read the first two lines and immediately thought to myself, "what the hell is this dude talking about?!?!?" Then I read the rest and almost fell out of my chair laughing.

bruin_d · 06-01-2011, 07:10 PM

Well I think I've decided on the under dash setup from Scott's Hotrods. I really like the design of it.
