    Talk to me about your brake set up. Did you ditch the booster and just go with manual brakes? If not what booster did you go with?

        Got any close up picks of the booster? How hard was it to make it work? Did you have to beat the fire wall in?

        Sorry for the 3rd degree but I am wanting to do this swap as soon as possible. I just finished building this 302. I'll probably build one with EFI for the e30

          it just started raining here so I'll snap one when it clears up. But no firewall modification was needed. At least in my case. Hardest part was rerouting the hardlines to the booster.
