Looks nice, but its not really a PCV system, correct? Its just a breather system right? Unless you have a vacuum pump I don't see or something. Either way, nicely done!

I have been looking at Crankcase Evac setups and I really kike this. I hate the factory PCV setup and I was thinking about a catch-can.
I have a 383, Ported AFR heads, d1SC motor should do 650-675RWHP.

My initial thoughts was to run a line from each Valvecover into a Catchcan then 1 line branch off the catchcan into the intake system (between the filter and blower inlet). I know it cost MORE but I would like to run braided lines with it as well with an fittings coming off the valvecovers.

I see you have what I am thinking, a line coming from each valvecover into a Catchcan with a FILTER. Does yours circulate back into the intake Tract?
With the filter on the can I suppose it filters it someway and how often do you have to empty Oil out of the catchcan???

nasty or anyone else can you give me some help???

I have basically the same set-up. No re-circulation. There is pip-**** drain on the bottom of can. Hopefully you never see that much blow-by to fill up the can. Todate (knock on wood) my can is still clean/empty

Thanks Guys, I have been researching this alot since I have found out the stock PCV system kinda of sucks, lol. I looked at a lot of systems and this one by far looks like the easiest.
Those look like -10An fittings on the valvecovers, so -10 An fitting on the catchcan too, Seems pretty easy.

Navy David SS Awsome setup I ahve seen your pics before. Are you running the same catchcan, if so where did you get your I need to order it up??
thanks
