    brake master cylinder question

    I think i need to remove the brake booster to run my new intake. I got a clifford 6=8 hyperpak intake and it looks like the master cylinder gets in the way unless i get rid of the booster. What master do i need to use?

    Need a chunk of firewall.

    This metal is very thin. And this is almost impossible to form without propper tools. Or at least with my tools and limited experience. Anybody parting out an f body that would be willing to cut out this section and sell it to me?

    Torsion bar end bushings.

    So here is what i got. You can see how the shell was welded. There was a very solid weld that even looks like an arc weld. Splatter even. Splitting these things is my only hope.

    Thanks guys. After many hrs of cussing i finally gave in and cut the shells. The bushing assembly WILL NOT COME OFF! I tried drilling out the welds to no avail. no budge. So i used a sawzall and a grinder and got them split. It seems the clam shells on both the middle bushing and this bugger...
