Re: Electric Power Brakes,,?
looks interesting. I have a factory hydroboost setup from a 2003 mustang cobra in my 57 ranch wagon, but this looks much easier.
1965 Mercury Cyclone former drag car, 1971 Boss 351 engine, 4 speed, ladder bars, etc. Now returned to a street car.

Ya a friend has Coyote power 62 Galaxie and is doing hydroboost, having a heck of a time with it but it's all a puzzle. Remote Electric hydraulic pump for the steering so that will supply the brakes too.
Re: Electric Power Brakes,,?
I did a 93 Fox body big block swap with a hydro boost and rack from a 2002 Mustang GT,electric pump from a Toyota MR2.Really not to tough to do.Run the pressure line from the pump to the booster,another separate pressure line from booster to rack,merge the 2 return lines and back to the pump.Original type 02 GT pressure lines were used with a small amount of modification.Brakes and steering were fantastic.Got it all done for a little more than $800.The setup these guys have looks interesting but I'm assuming it's costly...and it doesn't include steering.
Everybody is making drag cars out of the early 2000's GT Mustangs and those parts seem to be all over the place.The Toyota pump is a little tougher to find.

I guess Volvo has a pump too. A buddy that did a Coyote in 62 Galaxie used one.
I already have electric assist steering so that's why the interest in this plus the appearance.
Wondering if OEMs have gone here.
I know of Honda and Tesla that have electric assist boosters

but they take up the same space as a vacuum booster which is my problem,,,,.

Roy would have told you: "You don't need no stinkin' brake booster! Get your lazy butt to the gym and work on those leg muscles, wuss!" That's basically what he told me when I introduced myself on the forum and mentioned that I was considering a PS and PB conversion. Good ol' Roy, RIP.
