Thanks AVM!
As far the power brakes I utilize the existing hydro-boost steering system that came with the motor.
The cummins vacuum pump wouldn't fit on this paticular application because it would have interfere with the motor mounts that were used.
If I were to do another cummins swap it would be a 5.9 because it's longer and have more room to locate components like the AC compressor and cummins style vacuum pump.
