Hello vacuumland!
I have seen this subject talked about before but I only actually know if one other person who's done it.
So I present to you my TriStar CXL retro-mod with a VacuFlo DB5000 Central vacuum motor crammed into its poor little body.
I believe I'm going to have to get some sound deadening and install it in the future. But it really has quite a pleasant sound to it.
65" Working vacuum now that the motor is broken in and 101" sealed suction at the end of the hose.
Absolutely insane numbers to see here a mile above sea level in a portable vacuum.
I do worry that I might be consuming a little bit more than 12 amps.
Also I modified the hose to take the standard Central Vacuum pattern of button lock.
Below are a few quick cell phone videos of the thing in action.
