Did you notice the angle of the grill matched that of a 2017 Camaro? I have the Chevy bowtie that will be placed upper middle.

Is there a kit? Or do you have to custom build it? That would be an insane suspension...

A little more work with that kind of suspension, and your good to do a baja!

Apparently there was a custom kit you could buy from a couple of sources around 2008. Not so now that I can find. This might be a bit more for this old turd to design and build with a cut off saw and harbor freight welder. Let me know if you can find a source!

New subject on the build.. Thinking about adding hydroboost set up. Did some searching here and did not come up with any real information. I think a late model chevy truck w/HB will work. the fire wall mount and rod length will need modified. I will post what the parts are (if it works). I can get a PS pump with a second return or just silver braze a second one on the existing pump. I will need to get an adjustable proportioning valve and a line lock for the front brakes just for fun.

It will save a ton of room for the v8, make it perform better, look better and I have decided to do the ABS delete as well. I eventually will be placing roll cage bars through the fire wall along the inside of the doors and that would make it a bunch easier. Passenger side has the coolant reservoir and blower i will need to contend with.

Let me know if there is information on the hydroboost on here that i missed. I know about the astro van HB and it is too big for my liking and more money if buying new. the new style systems are really small. THanks!

There's lots of information on the HB setups on S10Forum.com. I put one in my S10 truck that's getting a V8 in it. It frees up a ton of room and you'll get a lot better brake response. Just so you're aware of it there is more than one style of mount where the firewall is at. Some of them mount flat while some of them are angled. There are different length rods for connecting to the brake pedal also. The one I put in my truck didn't need any trimming.

What is the model/year vehicle you got the HB from? or part number? Did you use AN hoses and fittings or the stock lines modified? i have started a research document and haven't decided what one i'm going to use yet. I'm not concerned with the mount or pedal shaft as they are simple to modify. Document has long travel information as well.
