3rd Gen Hydroboost setup

I stumbled across this you tube channel. Its not my channel and I don't take any credit for the work this gentleman has compiled. But I thought I would share this video in particular about 3rd gen dodge hydro boost setup adapted to a 1st gen, with what appears to be minimal work involved. I realize hydro boost has been discussed in detail in the past with modified 2nd gen setups and GM hydro boost setups, but couldn't ever recall someone using the 3rd gen hydro boost so I thought I would share and see if anyone else has done this with success?

Be nice if he showed the firewall and push rod mods more in depth....

Here is my conversion using late 2nd Gen HB unit, hoses etc....with lots of info, good and bad, and lots pics of the mods required.

At around 3:35-3:40 in the video he states he did not have to modify the rod at all, and the only firewall mods he states is slightly opening up the holes where the booster mounts. Btw Ive looked over your thread a bunch researching the best way to go about the hydro boost conversion, definitely appreciate the info. Saving up some coin to do a hydro boost conversion myself.
