Anybody upgrade to hydroboost on their 67-68? Im having no luck on searching for a Cougar power brake booster so i thought i would look into hydroboost. Welcome to all responses good and bad


thanks

I've installed hydroboost on a 68 cougar I used to own. I liked it a lot. I am currently installing it on my 67 cougar that I am swapping a coyote motor into. I've also installed in on my brothers' 66 C10 and 66 mustang. Hydratech Braking sells kits new and has them for 67-70 mustang and cougar. If you want to go the used route (which is what I did) I used the hydroboost from the SN95 generation mustangs, specifically the 03-04 mustang cobra, and fabbed my own power steering lines. Here is a link for Hydratech.

Thx for the quick response, got any pics, I’m guessing a tight fit with a 390?

Hope this helps. I used a modified reproduction Boss 429 booster wedge to tilt the hydroboost up to clear my coyote engine valve cover.

Yes, that helps a lot, especially the use of a wedge kit, thank you

If you decide to go the used route, try to find one with the mounting plate already attached. Most will angle the hydroboost up already. You can easily modify the plate to bolt to your pedal support. It'll save you some money from having to purchase the wedge like I did.
