What booster set ups are guys running with their modern hemi swaps? I don't want to run manual brakes as i would like to run a booster. Do you have clearance to the valve cover?
As my car has to go through engineering i need 10mm of clearance from booster to valve cover. I would think i would run a 7 inch booster to gain as much space as possible.


Dr Diff does a B body booster bracket for the Wedge that fits the A body. it sits the booster higher up, however currently out of stock and nothing on the horizon. So seeing what alternatives i have. He only has B body in stock, not sure if i could modify them to work.

Look into hydra boost. Might be a option. Was seriously looking into it with my 440 in a dart.

I am too, I have too low of a vacuum signal for power brakes, even with a reservoir. CPP has a pretty decent selection.
 

Try this guy out. He helped me out tremendously in Las Vegas at an autocross race when my master cylinder blew out during a race and got me up and running for my 1200 mile trip home in the Barracuda. He will definitely help you with your setup. He was a vender there and is California. Has a lot of Abody parts also.
 
Yea not keen on the hydra boost want to try stay conventional just to keep it simple, as i know i can get it to fit just want to make sure get the correct parts. Given postage isnt cheap as other side of the world

Have a chat to Paul Norris at Elko Perfromance in VIC.
He's done a few Hemi conversions and uses/sells the 7-inch booster.
Not cheap...
 

Remote vac booster could fit outboard of the master. Single circuit so would need two. VF Valiant booster option was larger but there are 7 inch universals cheap on ebay. I expect one is needed for front brakes and another for the rear circuit to maintain balance. Actuated by line pressure coming out of the master.
