tell me what's goin on here

[1stanger1]

so i am in the process of the mark VIII swap and a few things come into play....
first of all i am goin from a V6 to a HUGE V8 and i cant seem to get around the damn power brake booster it wont clear is there something i need to do here or should i put in another booster?

 

[NO BRAKES]

either go manual brakes... or pick up a COMPLETE hydrobooster setup. thats the only way around that thing. 100 to 150 is around average for the complete set up

Is it just the v6 that ppl have problem with the brake booster or is it the gt too ? maybe that will work ? Im going to be doing the swap somewhat soon so i can tell you then but that will be a lil wile

 

[1stanger1]

where can i get one of those boost thingys??? and whats the difference?

 

[NO BRAKES]

the v6 is vacuum booster, the gt cobra use hydroboost (powersteering) booster. the 96 to 98 boosters are smaller than later models. thats what i used.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEbay. or find a junk yard close to you that has a v8 modular stang

You will also need a radiator, fan and a complete exhaust setup in case you didn't realize those as well...just FYI..

i have the whole lincoln but not much else is needed there but a few more things here......

i have a cobra catless H-pipe and cobra manifolds ..... but what about the fuel lines.....

my car has one and the mark has 2, is it safe to use the one line that goes into the cannister as a return line?
i know i would have to disconnect it from the cannister but would it work or should i yank the ones off the mark ?

Easiest way, is get fuel lines off earlier car with return style system. You don't want to mess with evap. system, it's connected to the ECM and lets the tank breath. Lines from the MarkIII would come up 3 or 4 feet short and not be bent right.
