Hey everyone I’ve finally got my 440 in a shop and it’s getting built up by JBA in San Diego. The builder I’m working with told me based off the build we have laid out i will not have enough idle vacuum to run power brakes and that it might not be enough for the hideaway headlight doors. Has anyone had this issue / have a solution. I’ve looked at the Leeds electrical pumps and I’m not opposed to one just wasn’t sure if I would be able to run a booster and the headlight doors off the same pump. Not opposed to doing manual brakes either. Just want to be able to street / track the car without worry. Any help would be great.

Current cam he has planned I believe is 242/248 @.050 first time building up an engine and brake system so want to do it right.

Thank you I’ll probably go that route then so I don’t have to change the cam!
