I suppose that some people like saving money and others like saving time. It's all a matter of preference. I remember when I did not have much money to spend on the vette and I know how it feels. I hope you find the parts and finish it without much trouble, jcgodale.

He doesn't understand the joys of doing it yourself apparently Jclgodale3 
Sometimes it's not about how much or little it costs as the joy of a job well done right? 
Back to the post, that looks like the same hydroboost unit I got off of a '96 3500 diesel, should just need to be modified like in Norvals posts on the subject, as long as you have the short bore master cylinder

It's all about doing it yourself...whether you have the money or not. I did search Norval's posts but couldn't find the unit he used or the actual installation procedure. Got a link?

I don't think there is a difference between the vavle its self I think the only difference is in the mounting plate, two or four bolts. I think I remember Norval talking about this a while back. There is a detailed installation write-up on the corvettefaq wiki site.

This is the best one to get. The mounting flange is small & flat, therefore it will fit with no mods. The 2 stud model also has 4 holes, but the plate needs cut down & 2 new holes drilled. I know on the larger plate the itslef must be rotated 180 degrees to mount. I don't know if this true on the one you have. Noval will know. I would like to know how much you paid for that unit. You can pm me if you don't want it public.
