I put that same setup on my Cummins project................I sorta rigged it up. My main problem was finding what the heck fittings GM used on their pressurized hydraulic lines, I actually never did find out what the heck they were to buy new hose, and I didn't have access to a lathe to machine nice couplings, so I welded fittings together to test the setup.

I also couldn't get a pump with a larger reservoir to fit in the location I needed it too, so I used the stock pump and welded a pipe reducer on it for a threaded cap, and I put a another bung on the side which goes to an auxiliary tank I mounted on the core support for extra oil, and I drained the hydro-boost into it.

So far I am happy with it, they sure stop good! I plan on bending up some hard lines someday to replace all the hoses for a cleaner look.
