What kind of kit are you looking for, and why do you want a hydroboost? While the hydroboost works fine, it is not necessary for a disc conversion - a normal vacuum booster works. It's the master cylinder that matters.

Keep in mind that a hydroboost operates off the power steering pump, so you need to change the pump and reservoir to hook it up properly. If you have fabrication skills, every one ton Chevy/GMC pickup has a hydroboost system that you can get for cheap at a wrecking yard. You'll likely need to fabricate an adapter plate to mount it on your firewall. Use a Corvette disc/disc master cylinder.
