460 issues January 10, 2008, 09:13:35 PM I am the guy thats putting the 557 in onebadcougars 85 cougar . I think he posted in the wrong section and I know he didn't end up getting the answers I need to know . I need to put tall valve covers on it due to the roller rockers and need to know if anybody has actually done this by installing the smaller brake booster from a 94 mustang ? Did it clear ? I have read that it doesn't clear in a mustang but I can't remember if the mustangs have the engine offset towards the right side like the cougars do . That bit of offset could make a world of difference ! Does anybody know the diameter of the 94 stang booster ? This is becoming a real issue for me with this swap as this is a street driven car and nonpower brakes just isn't an option and I would prefer to NOT go with the hyrdoboost system but might have to .THANKS for any input .
