Has anyone swapped a 350 power booster into a 250?

Post by Clarko »

I had a 68 350 in the shop last week for pivot bushings and an I-beam bend and I noticed the brake booster was a deal larger.
I ran the part numbers between the m/c on the 68 and on my 69 250 and they came up the same.
Looking under the dash, the brake pedal assembly looked the same.
I was contemplating swapping a 350 booster into my 250, just like I put an 89 350 booster into my 88 Bronco.
It helped a great deal on the Bronco as far as stopping power.
Has anyone done this or am I going to be the guinea pig?
