Default Alternator from diesel with vacuum pump

Has anyone used the above as an additional source of vacuum for a big cam engine.

Focus XR5 has a 12V electric vacuum pump and I think VF Commodore does also, could be a winner thats way easier to implement rather than one of those ridiculously expensive diesel vacuum pump alternators that things like diesel Land Cruisers and Jap trucks had.

GM part number is 92227002

Might be a goer at a wrecker, a hell of a lot easier to implement this.

Not that dear. Exhaust brakes work well with them.
