Aerospace Vacuum Pump worth the cost?

[451Cuda1]

I have a new 451 being built and debating on running one. If anyone has picks as well on how you installed it.

I have a Star pump on my low deck 470. The vacuum pump is worth about 20 hp up top.

How much was your set up? Looks great

I dont want to create new thread for the same thing...

Does anybody have some photos of big blocks with vacuum pump mount? I really dont want to rediscover the wheel here, I'm betting many people did this ages ago.
I have aerospace vacuum pump and it seems that there will be time to install it due to delays with other stuff.
I need bracket ideas in non motor plate aplication, preferably drivers side mount. Can I have acces to waterjet and laser so I can cut whatever I want at cost of raw material and good bottle of vodka ;-) ;-) ;-)

Thanks in advance!
