i need to make sure i the ability to use an MC that has a big enough bore for the big front brakes. i think i can maybe get this one to work if i toss the factory intake horn, but it will still be close to the IP

Thanks
Ryan, my Hydraboost is from a 84 K30. I made a new plate and bolted it directly to the fire wall. You might have issues with as far back as your engine is. If you have to ditch the stock intake just make a flange and weld pipe to it like i did on mine. A stock intake wouldn't fit on mine either. I tried a 24v one, a 12v one may have fit. I also tried a dodge unit on my truck, but the bracket they had on the rear placed the whole mess way forward like you're saying and would have been into my injection pump. If you want a bigger reservoir, get one from a C40 or so. It should bolt on the pick up hydraboost unit.
