Studebaker Avanti LS376/480 I see I'm not the first ( probably not by a long shot! ) however I thought this might be worth posting up a few pictures.
I have a couple of questions regarding peripherals ( like pcv ).Any input or comments are appreciated.

Specifically the PCV and how it's done in an OEM application.
I've seen plenty of catch can installations however that's not what we're looking for.
I've including a picture of the line between the lifter valley breather/oil seperator and the throttle body. There's also the line from the right side valve cover that would normally plumb into the intake pipe after the filter ( and another blocked off nipple on the left side valve cover.
Is there no conventional PCV valve in the system?

Got it fired up. Needs a tune for sure (won't idle more than 30 or 40 secs before it starts to hunt then die)
Brakes completed as it's now a roller.
As far as completion, that'll be a ways off. The new project (29 Model A roadster drag car) has taken over the shop. Unfortunately this one isn't getting an LSX of any kind. Straight six, 300cid Ford.

Wow. It's been a while since I even THOUGHT about the Avanti. Once it left the shop, with the engine/trans fitted, I lost touch with the owner. I don't know if the project was ever finished.
