disciplerocks's B2 build thread

[disciplerocks]

Picked up some SVT Focus seats. One needs repaired, but they should be pretty nice once I mount them.



44 is out and ready to be put in the F150. 60 mocked up just to get the B2 back off jackstands.

Still using the hydroboost?

What exactly is the hydroboost?

 

[disciplerocks]

It uses the PS pump for brake pressure instead of manifold vacuum.

 

[dangerranger83]

I assume that this can't be adapted to a ranger easily if somebody wanted to.

 

[disciplerocks]

Could be. This unit is from a Mustang.

I've got a superduty hydroboost on SVT, its not hard. For comparison, a vacuum brake booster is capable of about 1800-2000 psi of brake pressure. A hydroboost unit is cabale of about 3500 psi of pressure. What's this mean? More brakes with less pedal effort...

That's what I want to hear Sive I'm going to be doing an explorer 8.8 swap and as tine goes on more steel will be added to the truck weighing it down, etc...

 

[RangerSVT]

Well, SVT's sitting in at about 7k lbs, and even though a diet is in his future, he's gonna end up at 8k easy when the new axles go in...

Updates!!!!


Picked up a metric D50 for a steal. Decided to stick with it instead of converting the Dodge D60 to Ford lockouts. Then picked up a Sterling to match, and a parts D50.

Mounted 2 tires




Pulled the 8.8 and dropped in the Sterling. Need to add lift blocks back in.

As some of you already know, I lost the V8. As well as my B2 and most of my garage.
