Hydro Boost Setup Questions Hello all, I am currently in the middle of a 2009 ly6 swap into a 65 Pontiac Lemans. I have opted to go with the Jeep Grand Cherokee steering gear and I am using the ly6 power steering pump. I would like to also upgrade the brakes to a hydro boost system and I have a couple of questions.
1) Would I be able to use a later model hydro boost system from something like a 2000-2006 Tahoe, van, or suburban? Would I run into any issues with fitment or compatibility?
2) I keep hearing about running a mid 90s astro van setup. What makes that system so attractive over a truck or SUV setup?
I plan on having hydraulic lines made with the metric O ring fittings for the JGC box so the lines shouldn't be an issue.
Let me know if I am missing something obvious. Thanks for your help!

2) my guess would be it's the physically smallest of what's available, compared to what's in my 2006 sierra truck which has the 8.1L gas engine and has hydroboost brakes.
i'm not a big fan of the hydroboost, i don't think it's better than the traditional vacuum booster setup. there are places out there that do custom stuff for brakes and hydroboost, such as hydratechbraking.com
