I am just mocking everything up but there seems to be a clearance problem. as you can see the trans is not even centered and it is rubbing. I may have to redrill the mounts in the booster bracket. see the pics. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/ahsum/booster2.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/ahsum/booster1.jpg 1950 custom streetrod build http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=296770 71 corvette conv, 525 hp big block

I really like my Hydroboosters, and won't ever use a vacuum booster if given a choice. Pictures of my booster can be found in the axle swap folder on the picture link below, as well as some pictures of it once I swapped it to my diesel truck.
