Re: LT1 GenV swap

The hydroboost isn't a necessity, but definatly will give you clearance between the valve cover and it's trim cover. I have the mltor as far back and as low as it can go with clearance of course and the beauty cover to booster has only 1/4-1/2" clearance iirc.

I just ordered the accessory bracket from DD, along with Sanden compressor and adapters for corvette water pump. I was also going to order the hydroboost brake booster, but just don't have enough information to pull the trigger. I was hoping to get you all's opinion. Thanks in advance for any information, and great thread.
