Default new breather/ oil catch can setup

i figured it was time to get this thing built as i have had the parts laying around for a bit.
i planed n running 5 -10 AN lines originally but cut it down to 3. i think it will be just fine with the 3 -10 AN lines.



it passed the water test, cant ask for alot more then that



im welding on a 30amp breaker so i have to pre heat so i can weld @ 110 amps instead of 180+

had to make a custom short back cap to get in the tight spaces.

you can see that i added a triangle to the end of the breather that will be a PS reservoir.

more preheating with my custom torch holder.





i almost forgot the VCs

Thats really good work and awesome welding! Personally relocating the battery would have left a perfect spot to put a setup like that and you could have hidden the lines a little more.

How do you drain it?

i dont want to move the battery becuse if you move the battery (pre NHRA) you must run a battery switch on the back of the car. even if its a 17 second car and that would look really shity on my sleeper caddy.

as for a drain for now ill run a line down to the ground with a cap for now. later ill drill and tap the pan for a return.

Great looking fab skills! props, still can't get over how massive of a catch can that is, everything ties together nicely though.
