i hope not lol il do sum checks today ,,,, when we swaped the engines etc i think we did away with the hill start clutch,brake thingy ,, not thinking we wud need it but i kept it anyway . by refitting this cud this maybe resolve the problem , thanks 4 the help ,, the car had only been driven forthe 10 miles after the engine swap etc then this happend

the hill start mechanism locks the front brake lines so you'll need to give that a check. other than that, as andy says, the vacuum hose to the brake servo has a one way valve in it to stop boost going into it. make sure youve got that fitted the correct way
