I know this has probably been covered but a search resulted in no nformation related to my question so here it goes.

I want/need to do a conversion to the hydraboost system, but I don't want to change over everything unless I have to. Currently I am running a 93 cobra master cylinder (1 inch bore) and I had custom brake lines made to work with the factory proportioning valve. The question I have is will the 93 Cobra master cylinder work with the hydraboost booster. Please don't speculate, I prefer to get responses from those who have done the conversion, assisted closely with a conversion, or know of a place to get the information that was put out as a result of a conversion. Thanks in advance.

Power brakes via power steering pump (in most cars), rather than vacuum assist. Hydraboost uses a hydraulic pump to power your brakes.

Getting ready for the 4.6 DOHC conversion. Everything I have read points to needing the hydraboost setup.

ahh okay. It's not a very common thing to do on foxes. Maybe you could get more help in the 4.6 forums as they are more familiar with how everything is set up.
