I'm in the middle of my buildup ('77 CJ5) and I am at a point where I need to get my MC figured out. I'm running D60's f/r, the front is currently a stock 79 Ford F250 and the rear I converted to disc using caddy calipers. The jeep originally was disc/drum and non boosted. I have a booster/MC setup from a '95 Chevy 1500, I grabbed it when I got the engine because I thought that I could use it but from what I've read, I probably can't. The info that I've gathered is that I should be looking for the corvette MC but all the info that I've seen on that is for a non boosted setup.

Are there any CJ guys out there that converted their non boosted stock rig to boosted with 3/4ton or bigger axles, running 35's+?? What booster and MC are you using? Did you have to redrill mnting holes?? Any clearance issues?

For you CJ guys out there that are just running the MC w/o a booster, any braking issues?

Basically, my main concern is with the booster. I tried using the booster that I have (approx 10.5" dia) but the mnting studs are way off and it will interfere with the hood by about 1/2".

This jeep will be driven on the road so stopping power is important.

thanks

I have the same situation with my 79 come on guys post up.

:shaking: Did you try searching on this topic??? :shaking:

I running a 68 Vette power M/C infront of a S10 dual booster. Don't know how it'll work yet but came up with this combo from tons of tech posted all over.
Front calipers are Chevy D44, the rears are Exploder discs.
The only thing I still expect to do is eliminate the porp valve.

With your front Ford 60 the dual piston calipers may need alot more fluid.

pepe, yes I did search. Like I already stated, I only found info on the MC w/o a booster. But I'm looking to run a booster so I wanted info on that.

JD, what year S10 did that come out of? Will it bolt right up in place of the CJ MC? Are you running a hydro clutch?

It was a JY S10, not sure of the year, 80 something. No hydro-clutch.

Hey Doug, thanks for the info. I'll look into that booster and I check on those front calipers. Anyone else running stock F250 calipers up front? Are you running into problems with them using up to much fluid.
