A little update on the hydroboost fitting -
The thread is not -4ORB. It’s a 5/16”x24 thread and they’re calling is a hydroboost “spittier” return. The only thing I can find is a fitting that adapts the 5/16” to -6AN. Can’t even find a factory looking fitting.
Here’s a pic of the fitting next to a -4ORB plug on the right.

Then that is a 02 ORB or 1/8" ORB same same.
Look at item 6801-02-02 if you want a 90° fitting
6801 - JIC to ORB | 37 JIC SAE Flare Male x SAE O-Ring Boss ORB Male 90 Elbow | HydraulicsDirect.com
Buy online 6801 JIC to ORB fittings at Hydraulics Direct. Find near me steel adapters and SAE O-ring boss (ORB) hydraulic fittings.
Looks nice in there. But I think now you need a big 102mm throttle body to bring it all home.
Amazon has " TITAN FITTINGS | 6801-04-02 | 90° Elbow 1/4" Male JIC (7/16"-20 thread) x 1/8" ORB (5/16"-24 thread) Male" That will let you run the same #4AN lines that you ran for everything else for around $5.50 on my Amazons.

That is what I need, too. I didn't use an ORB fitting, guess I should have, no leaks though.

Thanks again - web search guru and fitting professional
Thanks guys for bringing this up, I ordered a couple of those fittings and they're on the way. Sure solves a problem for that return line.

Took a couple steps backwards with the hydroboost flip (should have done it that way to begin with). Made a new mount. Will need to readjust the brake lines or make new ones. I’ll do that when I’m done with the engine wiring harness.
Instead of trying to cut around and shape out a locator dog, I just cut the 1-5/8” hole with a hole saw, and then welded in a locator with the TIG (more than one way to skin a cat). This is much better than the last design anyways, can actually get a tool on the nut to tighten it down properly. The studs are from the OEM GM mount from the truck it came out of.

I can't find a picture, but that's what I did too. I couldn't think how else to add that knob in there. Looks good man!
I guess we need a plasma table. 
We got one at work, pretty sweet. When I need a part it usually works the way I want. (I’m to blame, not the machine). That being said, it’s not cheap- table, computer and plasma. Something like $5k- your total budget I’m told.I guess we need a plasma table.
Flipside, fusion360 has a free version of their CAD software. $5k should buy a lot of Send-Cut-Send.
