Default oil catch can question??

Does anyone make an oil catch can for a LT1? I see a bunch of universal kits but if I can spend a little bit more for one made for an LT1 it would make life eaiser.

Installed this one from WS6 store (made for LS1 - but mounts and works perfectly on LT1). Expensive I know, but took me 5 minutes to install and looks good too. Mounted it to my driverside head, behind the ICM mount and routed it to my PCV on the driverside many and the front of the manny.

I made one for like ten bucks in parts using an air tool filter, but it's tiny so I have to empty it every 400 miles or so. I mounted it to the cowl next to the brake fluid reservoir.

It's pretty simple really, you just remove the metal tube between the PCV valve and the front of the intake manifold, and replace it with the catch can, using as much fuel line as needed to mount it wherever you want it. Here's some pics I took when i did it:

There's one pic with the parts laid out before assembly. Also the first pic in that album has nothing to do with the catch can.

I never saw an lt1 specific can. I have a universal one and I am very happy with it. I wish mine did have a filter of some kind of separator but it works very good for what I paid for it.
