I'll be running a small block and probably a solid cam, so I don't want valve cover clearance issues. I like the look of the bracket delete thing, but if clearance won't be an issue or that won't help, it's not a big deal to me. Unless of course it's an easy thing to do. What about brake lines? How bad am I going to have to tweak the OEM rigid lines to fit up to a CPP setup? What about the hoses? I've done the conversion drop spindles and disk brakes. From what I understand, there's no OEM hose that's going to fit just right. I've seen the conversion hoses, but is that the best way to go? If I need to make new hard lines for it to be "nice", so be it.
Back on post #27 I had mentioned to look for a 1/2 or 3/4 ton with a diesel for the hydro boost but I would think you would also have to get the PS pump and reservoir for the added pressure, but not positive on that but I would find a truck and take peddles and every thing related to it.
