That seems like the plan at this point. now i just have to decide which color, and if i am gonna go with an LS6 valley cover while i am at it. i will be pulling my FAST to be ported anyway next week. so it is the perfect time for the upgrade if it is indeed an upgrade.

IMO, I'd just stick with the valley cover that's already on there, then run some new oil/fuel line hose off the plastic PCV tube coming from the rear of the drivers side VC right where it goes into rubber Y-fitting(discard it) and cap the rear port on the passengers side VC.

My setup is working very well, I drained about 1/4 cup out of it since my motor rebuild last summer.
Im running the new style valley cover and have both valve covers T'd into another hose, both these hoses go into an e-bay catch can. Inside the catch can I made the fittings turn down and then fabbed a filter element and its seems to be working great.

Sweet ^^

I thought about fabbing up a custom catch-can using my AC canister since I've deleted it. Would kinda look stock, but actually have a purpose.

Does it ever.

Yeah, I was thinking of the canister holder / bracket... simply cause I can't get the damned thing off!

Add 2 nipples at less than $3 ea. and you have an affordable catch can.

Look in the tools/air tools section.
