Hole in the head project

Another idea is to switch to manual brakes. With no booster, I could stick the clutch master next to the brake master right on he damn firewall. .....no crazy hacking of the body required.

Or hydroboost?

I think there were maybe some chevy vans that had a compact hydroboost unit. Anybody know what I might be halfway remembering?

Edit: tahoe's have them

Chevy Astro and GMC Safari had them.

Ok, I couldn't make the trip to Dad's this weekend, I'm waiting on an alternator to show up for the Yaris.

Trying to nail down what I want for stance. I went to the Triple Crown of Rodding and confirmed that I only love low cars. Do I want to narrow the front suspension and tuck the wheels in the stock wheelwells? Like this chevy II?

Or raise/reshape the wheel openings for clearance and leave the wheels where they are? Along the lines of this (not much different than a C5 corvette).

I think I could narrow the arms a few inches if I move the shock inside the coil

I don't think I can tuck as hard as my truck, but maybe enough.

Raising the wheelwell would probably be way easier. I'm thinking just getting rid of the flat top, and going round. It should give me 2-3 inches more room?
