Electric hydroboost Was reading this months HOTROD and the article about the 70 mustang Mach 1 with the ford GT mid engine and the builder mentioned he always puts electric hydroboost in his builds including his Mach 1 and his 69 Camaro on a C6 platform. I know they used them on grand nationals and I think some minivans to save space, has anyone ever seen one or used one? I'm surprised I didn't find more about this for the big cam or turbo guys, I feel like it would be a good alternative to a vacuum pump. On pirate4x4 someone said they found one in a late 80s caravan. Even regular hydroboost since it only robs power when braking, it would get rid of the ugly brake booster and vacuum lines but keep power brakes. I know I saw somewhere someone used electric power steering on their LT1, it would be cool to find a build that had electric power steering and electric hydroboost, only requiring an alternator and be a clean engine bay.
