Breather Tank/Catch Can/PCV setup for my 415ci build ***teaser motor pics included***
Hey guys, looks like im down to the brass tax on my weekend warrior/drag strip 6.0L 415ci motor build and im just trying to tie up the loose ends. Recently I picked up a Moroso breather tank/catch can with two bungs. Im using an EFI Victor Jr intake and have the LS1 style valley cover which should be helpful info in looking at the picture below. Im wondering if the below catch can/pcv system or lack there of will work efficiently? I really dont want to buy a vacuum pump although it might be advisable with my cam size (high 24x/26x 660+lift) and if I ever do run the moderate size shot im planning on (250-300). Any constructive criticism is appreciated as there are so many confilicting opinions on what the best way is to set these up....thanks
fyi....I'm not sure if ill be cheap and go with zipties, brass barbs and rubber autozone fuel line, or go more aesthetically pleasing and do Russell Twist-Lok line and -an fittings
Motor pics...
mocked up with intake/elbow
How it sits, waiting till I get around to the clutch install

FWIW, I have a -10AN line from each of my valve covers into a Moroso can. I went with the eye-pleasing parts LOL
Here you can see the line from the pass. valve cover going into a "T", then into the can.
I dont have any pics of the drivers side valve cover, but its a 90* out of the factory hole in the valve cover with a -10AN line going behind the motor and into the aforementioned "T", and into the can.

LOL i think its funny I labeled the valve covers wrong in the picture....its actually reversed passenger side on the left and drivers on the right....
Is your can a dual bung? I guess I dont understand the "T" portion....if you have the lines from both valve covers "T"ed wouldnt that mean it only goes into one side of the can
Thanks for the reply I think if i can understand what your talking about with the "T" itll def help out with my setup...

The can only has one port, therefor, my (2) -10AN lines "T" together into one line into the can.

Here's my setup. Bungs on both VC's running into the downtube. Line from the valley pan to a catch can and into the manifold. I don't have baffles in the VC's and the intake stays bone dry. My 403 had a lot of blowby and I definitely couldn't have run like this. I ended up tying the VC's together and running a small filter on the oil cap and the valley pan to catch can to the manifold. It's really going to depend on how much blowby you have how you can get away with setting up the PCV.
