I just bought a chevy van for the throttle body 350, to my suprise it has a 14 bolt full floater and hydro boost brakes. My question is how hard is it to set up the hydro boost and is it worth it?

This link probably has more info than you could possibly need.. If it lacks what you need, send a PM to Elliott.. He's the man...

Not too hard, and yes definitely worth it. Read through the link posted above, then use the search and you will find many postings here.

A google site search works very well for that also.
I'm running Elliott's setup, with just some minor changes for my older vintage.
It's one of the best mod's I have done.

That's the full size van and the pushrod is going to be pretty long on that HB. You can cut the rod, thread it to 3/8 18 fine and install an adjustable end on it... but for the hassle, just look for an Astro van HB and buy a 1" spacer then bush the rod end to your pedal pin. Then put that HB up for sale on Ebay.
