Brake Booster with a Hemi.

[kw mopar]

I have dropped a Hemi in my 69 Charger, (original 440 car). What should I do for a brake booster set up? Can I use the original booster with a lift bracket and a different length arm. Or do i need a smaller booster to clear the hood.? And if so who supplies these parts? Any suggestions would be great Thanks

Interesting question.  I'd love to hear what you find out.  But I'm thinking that the Hemi booster was the same as the one for the 440 but it did have a different push rod and had slightly larger mtg studs on the back.  It also sat on the lift bracket you mention.  I bet those push rods are not easy to find and for that matter I'm not sure why they did use a different one.  I have seen the lift brackets used on A-bodies but not sure if they are the same.  In your case, if you have a original 8 inch Bendix booster then it is pretty valuable  If it ends up being the same unit, then I bet the source mentioned takes yours in swap for his newly configured setup.  Or you could just sell yours.  Either way, it looks like the best bet for you is to just buy from the Ram Man.
