Considering this engine for my project. Wondering though if it pulls enough vacuum to support power brakes? Not sure if I'll run them but I want the option.

No problem with vacuum brakes. Idle is choppy, and anything under 1800 RPM will cause usual driveability issues. But above 2K it runs great.

Buddy of mine runs this motor in his Chevelle. He put in one of those electric vacuum pumps to support the brakes, but said he probably didn't need it.

I'd rather not run hydroboost.

I have the DSE vacuum booster/MC in my 69 with LS376/525 and it's fine.
