I'm convinced my stock brake booster needs replacing and I plan on doing the 5-lug conversion soon, but not immediately.

Could I put the 96 V6 booster/master cylinder in now, reroute the left front brake to the prop valve (I'll replace the 12mm nut with a 7/16"-24 nut, already have the tools and parts), and just bleed the system?

Any side effects that any one can think of?

Would have to bench bleed the MC first ofcourse.. besides that, i have no clue if you'd have any side effects frmo a bigger MC/boster and stock brakes.

Bump for ya.

I had to replace my MC a few months before I did my 5 lug conversion and I used the 94-95 MC with my stock booster. My pedal was rather hard, especially on a panic stop. It was manageable otherwise. It got much better after I installed the SN95 fronts and the disc rears. It is still a bit hard on panic stops, but I attribute that to using a Fox booster. If you are using the Mc and booster, it would probably be better than mine was, I would think.

Good luck!
