Default Powersteering delete? What about Brakes?

I'm not gonna run powersteering on my new motor. But didn't really think about it, what am I gonna about brakes?

My buddy wants to put Fox body brake booster and lines and everything on my car. Is there an easier way?

Damn there is a manual brake kit for our cars but I can't remember who makes it. Let me search around for a min and try to find it for you.

Do you have a manual steering rack for your car? You can't just get rid of the power steering pump and call it good. I see you have already noticed that the power brakes are powered by the power steering system. In my opinion, you should just run power steering and suck up the few horses it uses.

Ask one of these guys. http://www.modularfords.com/forums/s...d.php?t=128994

This is not the forum to be asking real tech questions, go to modularfords.com.

Here is a post I copied from modular fords.

if your gonna do it you have to do the pedal mod which is just takeing the factory pedal out and putting it in the lower set of holes there already there and u will see them the pedal hangs a little lower but is requied in my opinoin .thats why the other set of holes are there for more leverge . dont use the skinny kid kit if your using stock brakes just buy a 15/16 bore master cylinder i got mine for $50. and i would get a adjustable proportiong valve . i went through this already and before i did these things i mention the car didnt stop and was scary and is fine now
