Help Me Make A Couple Decisions

[blown240]

I am going to be pulling the motor from my 61 Panel to replace it with a newer/less worn out motor.

I am thinking that it will be easier to update the brakes while the motor is out. I am leaving it 4 wheel drum for now, but am upgrading to power brakes and a dual master cylinder. I have most of the parts to do a hydroboost, but would need to buy a new hydro unit.

My budget is VERY limited.

1. Vacuum booster or Hydroboost? Is hydro that much better with 4 wheel drums? I have the pump and a steering box, but this complicates the install I'm sure. I can get a vacuum booster for about half the price of the hydroboost.

2. Is it just as easy to run the new dual circuit brake lines with the motor in? If so, I may just get the motor in and worry about the brakes afterwards.
