I am new to BBC. Completely new engine. Need a bracket to mount the catch can for my vacuum pump. It will be mounted on the back of the head. In a dragster. Brodix SR 20 heads. Star vacuum pump. Thanks Bob J

I'd say Bob J Fabrications

I'm sure you can justify the cost of a Bridgeport, lathe, band saw, metal brake, drill press, and MIG and TIG welders to your wife....

why wouldn't it be mounted on the front or infront of the engine where the vacuum pump is mounted and plumbed?

Thinking ive seen a few Miller Chassis Dragster with the puke tank at the back of the engine.

for the vaccum pump why?

My Miller car is basically mounted just like Ed's

I agree with Ed. I think you want the shortest possible line on the discharge side of the pump and down near the blowsheild is the best location. Easy to drain and out of the way. Kevin

Agree with the others... seems like a dumb place to mount it. It's ugly, so why would you want it up on the head where you have to look at it & it's potentially in your way? Mount it low where you can't see it plus gravity is your friend when it comes to moving water vapor.

When my new car gets here (Someday soon I hope!) I will see if it can be mounted low on the frame in front of the engine. The only reason I asked about mounting on the back of the head, was I saw a few like that in the past. My old car had it mounted on the shield behind the driver. Bob J

Shouldn’t have talked with chassis shop about locations of things so brackets and space would’ve been figured out before hand

That being said mine is mounted on front of head with just one bolt threw bracket on front of head
