hydroboost for CJ-8 with '99 4.0/4.6

[Crockodotsky]

I've installed a Clifford dual-Weber setup on my stoker build but the brake booster won't fit. I'm ok with adding a hydroboost system but hope to keep the same style power steering pump. This is due to the fact that the Clifford manifold needs a custom spacer to bolt to the PSP bracket. I've already fabricated that.

Does anyone know of a PSP that will fit on the same brackets that will work with a hydroboost system?

1) Would this be a question for the chosen hydroboost manufacturer?

2) Isn't this kind of a moot question? Any pump that would be used on a 4.0 would have to bolt in the same way, so if there's a pump that works for a 4.0, won't it still work for yours? Because what you fabricated with the spacer is still allowing a basic 4.0 pump to bolt up, right?

My understanding is that the stock 4.0 pump doesn't work with a hydroboost system. For example, my '04 suburban's pump has an output port and two return lines. The ones on my 4.2 and 4.0 have only one in and one out

after some internet digging, I answered my own question. Here is the diagram I found that indicated I only need to use a "t" if my pump only has one return line. Found it here: https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/hydroboost-brake-system-conversion

There you go, I was thinking that the manufacturer you went with would have a ready answer for this, as it's critical to their product.

I think a Grand Cherokee 4.0 pump has an additional outlet.
