hydroboost swap question

Hey yall. I know im probably kicking a dead cat here but i got a hydroboost unit off of a 98 cummins and i want to put it on my 93. I have researched it but see mostly threads about later units and chevy units. Will this unit work. If so what else would i have to do other than drill 2 new holes, shorten push rod. Thank you in advance

Just an fyi i will be using my stock power steering pump. Will the brake lines hook straight ip to the master cylinder or will they need adapting. I got the unit with all the lines still attached but dont know which lines go where on my pump. Thanks

The pressure line runs in a loop from the pump to the booster to the power steering box .There will be two return lines. One from the booster and one from steering box. On my jeep I ran both returns to a "T" and into the return line to the pump.
