Moroso makes a robust vacuum pump for scavenging the crankcase. It is =
made for your application if you haven't been talked into going all =
electric. I believe you can get them from Jeg's or Summit Racing.

  A down side of the all electric systems is the fact that electric =
gyros - Attitude and Direction Gyro cost about 3-4 times as much as =
vacuum gyros.  If they lasted any longer, ok.  But they don't.  Electric =
gyros have about the same life as vacuum gyros.  If you are going all =
electric, try to use the new electronic Blue Mountain, Dynon, or other =
non-mechanical gyros.

  This didn't answer your question about how to mount your vacuum pump =
on your V8, but is a data point as you build info for your decision.

  Let us know what you decide!

    Is there any one out there who put a vacuum system
    on an auto conversion? I have a Chevy V8=20
    installed and would like some ideas on how other people
    attacked the Vacuum system. I thought of a electrical=20
    driven vacuum pump but do not know how much=20
    vacuum I need to pull. I bought a engine driven aircraft pump. But =
with it I need to find out what Rpm  it needs to be run at? Where it =
mount it ?And how I might install it.
    Or should I just give up on the vacuum system all to gerther
    and go all electrical.

    Thank you Wise ones
    Ron
