I saw that it talked about getting one out of another older ford, which I have never seen. They are all over the astro vans.

I'm not new to hrydroboost, got one in my 83 Cherokee from an Astro van. One thing, if you mount the unit upside down form the stock, it could take longer to bleed the system.

I'm asking about if there is a certain unit from a car/truck that might be a bolt in option. I know of this one off an 03 mustang. I also know a guy that makes adapters and some other hardware to make the Astro van units go into just about anything.
