69NC 21 Report post Posted August 17, 2014 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. http://image.hotrod.com/f/feature_stories/hrdp_1307_ford_coyote_engine_swap_guide_part_2/46493726/hdp-1307-31%2Bford-coyote-engine-swap-guide-part-2%2Bbrake-booster.jpg And finally Several folks have claimed success using late 80's power booster from a Fox body Mustang 4 cyl. http://forums.vintage-mustang.com/mod-custom-forum/619453-longshot-modmotor-power-brakes-possible.html 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 http://www.tuffstuffperformance.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/category_id=198/mode=cat/cat198.htm Anyone with experience on these? I'm looking for install thoughts, but also how well they work. Thanks Rod. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rsanter 152 Report post Posted August 17, 2014 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 Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gatlin69 10 Report post Posted August 18, 2014 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69NC 21 Report post Posted August 19, 2014 Bob, pictures would be great. What motor are you currently running?

69NC 21 Report post Posted August 19, 2014 I checked and did not see it on your web site. is this an adapter, or a booster for a manual master cylinder? We now make a small billet one for manual brakes, cost is 350.00. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gatlin69 10 Report post Posted August 19, 2014 Gatlin69, could you take pictures of your set up fro me? 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.

blueblood 26 Report post Posted August 20, 2014 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. http://forum.mustangstofear.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=143&start=390 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samwe 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69NC 21 Report post Posted December 22, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
