Default Help with catch can loaction

Hi All, apologies up front, as I am pretty sure I have read a dedicated thread on this but I just don't seem to be able to find it. So feel free to answer if you can or point out a link to where I should post this?

I am wanting to fit and plumb an oil breather catch can to my LSx454. I am running a Meziere electric water pump. I think the spot that would work is between the pump and the head. Has anyone got any ideas on what brand or make to go for, and if that's a good spot or not, and what i should look out for (if anything)

Thanks

I'm sure you could make a small bracket out of some angle aluminum and use those bolt holes facing the front of the car on the heads.

I'd mount it up front on the passenger side of the engine compartment(high or low), this will allow the CC to trap more oil vapor regardless of brand.
