I am running a PCV on mine, just like any old carb setup.

Just like *ZONES89RS * said...run one like the old 60's-70's muscle cars came with. Filter on one valve cover and PCV valve on the other. Pulls fresh air through the whole engine crankcase. Here's mine.

My LS2 motor has the PCV set up in the valley cover. I put a short piece of fuel line and a $3 clear fuel filter on the breather tube off the valve cover.

It is all visible in this pic. Really need some type of catch can in the PCV line. The lines have a trace of oil in them.

No PCV, just a filter to let the crank case breath.

Same here, but switching to pcv this winter.

i run a pcv valve which links back via both rocker covers to my oil tank (dry sump) as a return line as the little breather filters will eventually get clogged by the fine oil mist the engines do produce when working hard.

I just tig welded two -10 bungs to the stock covers and lumbed them to a catch can. I only get about a teaspoon of oil for every 1000 miles. Engine seems happy.
