I saw that several years ago and thought it was a cool idea. I think Roush was doing the conversion. At the time, the price was out of my range for a car I only drive 1000 or so miles a year. I don't think they are doing them anymore. The drum brakes are actually ok but the single master cylinder is a little frightening. The Pontiac Delco power booster/master cylinder through 1962 is really goofy. The master cylinder piston goes into the booster. So to upgrade, you have to replace both. Just thought hydroboost would be a neat way to get added boost, reduce size, and get a dual system. I was happy to read it won't work well before I took it all apart and found out the bad news for myself. Once I double the HP of the current weak 455, I will have to do something.
