metco makes one that is expensive as hell. I know thunder racing sells it.
I'd also like to know if there is a cheap alternative or a good way to vent the stock driver side cover.

For the LH side I cut the plastic PCV hose off the 45 degree thing that goes in the grommet then put a little 7/16 ID K&N filter on it. Fits tight and isnt going anywhere.
You can see it in this pic..

I went to autozone and got two of their small breathers I think 5/16 ID not sure at all though. anyhow it's slightly bigger than the gromets that the pcv hoses hook onto. I put one on the rear grommet on the pass. side and one where kp has his on the driver side. oil cap is still there capped off the fresh air line to the tb and valve cover and capped the intake. Works great no oil anywhere and no more smoke out of the exhaust. Cost me about $20 IIRC.
speed inc sells the breather you are talking about phil.
