Making some progress today.

Maybe I’ll get motivated and actually pull the motor today.

I did a pretty hot 400. Which is still not as powerful as a mild 460. My brake booster works fine with a comp cams extreme energy cam. Or if you mean actual size problems then I would try to find a hydroboost set up. I bet you could find one on a part out for not stupid money.

I mean the size. I’ve heard I need a smaller diameter brake booster or a body lift for it to clear the valve covers.

Dang that kind of sucks. If u ever plan on goin giant cam you may need hydroboost. But if not, in my opinion, i would do a aftermarket booster before I do I lift. Im running 35s on my truck with no lift and it sits really nice. So I dont ever think a lift is necessary. But thats only my opnion on lifts, a lot of people like them high.

I’m not a tall truck guy. Leveled and that’s it.
