77 trans am hydroboost swap and kits

[yellow1098Greg]

Hi fellas, I just wanted to ask what options and parts I need to run hydroboost on my TA? I can’t find full info on what all it takes besides the unit itself? New power steering pump? New steering box? New lines? What other cars stock hydroboost can I get at the local parts store? Or do I need a full kit from hydratech or somewhere else? Just trying to get a plan and compare parts and costs? Or should I just run a smaller dual diagram booster until I’m ready to do a full brake swap? Thanks as always!

I would buy the hydratech kit. I've used two and they worked great.
Assuming you don't have much vacuum due to a somewhat big cam a small diameter booster would not be good. If you are doing it for fitment issues I still wouldn't do it.
I would run manual brakes before I did that. Call Tobin at Kore3 if you go manual.
Just my.02.

Thanks for the response….I would be doing it for both …..the thing that has me alittle confused is how I find info that “seems” much cheaper with the same performance with Astro van piece together systems etc etc…..so I’ve been trying to find info on that also

Did you ever find the answers you were looking for. I have searched a few forums and looks like it can be done with factory pump.
