Need brake booster Coyote help

[69NC 21]

I'm looking for what others have done to solve the problem of fitting a brake booster in a 69 mustang with a Coyote motor. Anyone here have recommendations, or personal experience. Any sagely advice?

 

From my reading I have seen 3 solutions, but there is little detail about now they actually work.

 

The most expensive solution ~ $1000 is the ABS electric/hydraulic. I saw this on the MTF car on this site.

 

the other solutions are lower cost, depending on if you buy them or get the parts

 

take a Hydroboost system from Mustang circa 2005. This is the one I have the least amount of information on.

And finally

Several folks have claimed success using late 80's power booster from a Fox body Mustang 4 cyl.

This is one I have not seen anybody use, but it looks interesting

The tuffstuff 2225N boster for 69-70 mustangs. it's only about 3.75" thick and 9" around. And I think is the booster used on the Boss 429 mustangs

Anyone with experience on these? I'm looking for install thoughts, but also how well they work.

 

Thanks

 

Rod.

I have the tuff stuff booster on my 69 and it works great.

It is very compact and I was thinking that it could be small enough to help the coyote swap

When I get a chance I can take some pictures of how it fits to the firewall.

I was also thinking that you may be able to move it back deeper into the firewall with a little welding and fab

I have a hydroboost from a 2004 Mach 1 in my 69' with a DOHC 4.6, I can't imagine it wouldn't fit with the coyote motor in there as well. I had to build a custom plate to mount it, but over all not very difficult. It barely fits, but it does fit!

We now make a small billet one for manual brakes, cost is 350.00.

Bob,

 

pictures would be great. What motor are you currently running?

Gatlin69,

 

could you take pictures of your set up fro me?

I checked and did not see it on your web site. is this an adapter, or a booster for a manual master cylinder?

It's extremely difficult to get a good picture of it while it's installed in the car, but here's what it looks like -

 

 

Basically what I did was take the mounting plate off the booster, and cut out the angled section. I took some 3/16" plate and made a template of the pedal bracket, and cut the plate into that shape. I then cut out the center of the new plate, and welded in the salvaged angle plate from the OEM bracket and modified it to give a little more angle. I had to cut the hole a little larger to get the body and pushrod through the firewall though. I just did this on Saturday so it's not 100% complete, but it clears everywhere it needs to.

Gatlin69,

 

Thank you. You do great work. very nice looking install.

 

I'm hoping to see the Tuff Stuff before I make a decision.

69NC,

here is a link to one the MTF used in a recent build.

Scroll down through the photos, not sure if this is the one referred to above.

The Tuffstff Mc looks like what I am using. Be aware the pushrod is meant to fit a 69, not a 70. The hole for the pin is offset, where as the '70 should be inline.

I replaced the spacer on the back with a machined piece that raises the MC. This lines up the pushrod hole with the pin on the pedal and gives some more engine clearance.

I went with the Hydroboost set up. I ordered a 2004 Cobra booster, and modified the backing plate to get eh right angle. I also found a nice diagram on the Factory five forum that listed a the AN fittings you need.
