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

Use a 8" dual booster with 1 1/8" bore master. You'll have to get one with brackets that raise the booster to clear W valve covers

Hydro boost would be awesome. I had my last 59 truck with a hydro boost and it was the best I have ever driven on an old car/truck
Not certain if the hydro boost will clear or require special firewall mount
I can't say enough about how good that system is.

I don't sell any of the above

Kurt[Plumcrazy] went from the vacuum booster to hydro-boost on his 65 C10 and can't say enough good things about it.If you're running a hot cam and power steering ,this would be a no-brainer.
