    Forgive me if you already explained this. Will the long IDI arm work or do you have to use the short one? Thanks!

    So if I understand correctly you can just remove the arm from a pump that fits the IDI and fit it to the big block pump as is ?

    Project White F250 Restore

    Hey Nero. I used Portland Engine Rebuilders in Aurora. Russ would use them for alot of stuff. I had them do a rebuild for me . I did turbo rods and pistons with n/a block, all balanced . Very happy with the work.

    Cool,interested to see what you think once you get things installed..I think whatever MC you put on will work fine. Both mounted up to the hydroboost unit no problem. Safe travels down to TX.

    Trouble shooting new brake system

    Hey Goat, unfortunately I dont remember what the bore size is on the larger bore MC , or what years its made for. I went out and mic'd the casing on the larger MC and it came out to 1.5 and some change. I was able to measure the actual bore on the smaller one I took off and it mic'd at 1.175...

    Trouble shooting new brake system

    Got everything hooked up in its proper place now. Bled the system and went for a test drive. Now thats what brakes are supposed to feel like! I swear I stared at this thing for an hour hoping to see something and still missed it. This started out being just the hydroboost swap but I ended up...

    Power steering works great. That Lee pump is nice. Its basically has the internals like a Saginaw pump.

    Trouble shooting new brake system

    Decided to change back to the old master cylinder with the smaller bore to see if that might make a difference. It's not quite as stiff but still the brakes are pretty sketchy. Definitely not what you would expect from a hydroboost system. This thing is kicking my butt!

    Trouble shooting new brake system

    With the BBB set up there is no need to modify the pedal. That was the first thing that came to mind. I will check the push rod and make sure thats all good. Keep ya posted
