At that point, if you have not already considered it, hydro-boost may be a better option for you.

Just thinking ahead .... which is funny I would do it on your build, but neglect it on mine .....
Here's a better picture of Ds truck with the mini booster.

Re: dbombs53 short box
Gotcha!
A mini booster never even crossed my mind, but that makes sense.
I was asking because a friend has a stock 72, and with the master cylinder there isnt enough room for the traditionally mounted air cleaner and that is just on top of a 2bbl carb.

Nice build man, thanks for the pic too!

Re: dbombs53 short box
A few more pictures, I took 5" out of the headers. I had to shave a portion out of the bottom of the intake to clear the first and second header pipe. Motor is sitting up 1.5" to clear the steering linkage. So far so good!

Tony I think Dino has about 30 or 40 master cylinder booster setups lying around. I tell him, I think I'm gonna run disc brakes, next thing you know, he shows up with disc brakes. I'm gonna tell him I'm short on cash next time. Lol.
