Good stuff. Never seen a booster like that before.

Power steer belt comes off and you can't turn OR stop :D

It's actually got a manual steering rack but the black 202 came with a power steering pump. The little cylinder on the side of the Hydroboost is a pressure reservoir so you have a few brake applications stored up if the pump fails. If it did fail it would be the same as splitting a diaphragm in a vacuum booster.

Mustangs have used these since '95, but they are also common on some diesel commercials instead of a vacuum pump.

Worth a go I reckon for $200.

Update... I finished changing the Volvo axles over to HQ stud pattern.

I knocked out the old studs, and had the boys weld the holes and then reface it in the lathe. My mate then made a jig to fit over the end of axle and showed me how to program the mill to drill five pilot holes in it to suit the HQ pattern



The mill drilling the pilot holes.



I then clamped the jig to the axle flange and drilled the pilot holes.



The pilot holes were then enlarged and the HQ studs fitted.



I just need to get a new set of bearings and the diff will be all done.

Well after lots of fucking around I bit the bullet and bought a JZX100 Chaser front cut with a 1JZ-GTE VVTi and 4 speed auto.



I'm pretty confident it will fit!

I'm sure you can make it fit, the torque will be imense in the old EK.

I think so. The Chaser weighs 1480 kg and an EK is 1120 kg.

They EK is designed for a straight six, the 1JZ swap has been done in early commodores before so no reason it shouldn't fit.

You might need an ECU upgrade for VVti.

[BigMuz]

Very good.

I'm just going to run the standard ECU to start with. I suspect it will be more than enough so I probably won't end up using the Haltech E11v2.

Hmmm not always quite as easy as that. Ask anyone who has put a barra into a 6 cyl cortina....

Looking good, seems like you've got the equipement to sort out any possible problems
