    Power brake booster

    So after replacing the drum brakes on all corners with discs I’ m looking for direction on the purchase of a brake booster to work with the 409. I’m sure some of you have figured this out? My other thoughts are hydro boost system. Thanks for your input

    409 exhaust system

    409 exhaust system

    Power steering pump

    I have the cast pulley and it lines up well with some shimming on the show case parts. I was concerned about the angle of the small block pump as it doesn't install as upright on the 409. The challenge will be with the top bracket of the two supplied. Going to need some fabrication for the...
