408 PCV Questions? Ok so i have a iron block 408 with LSA heads and ls3 intake. So im seeking advice on a pcv system.
Idea 1: I could buy a ls6 valley cover that has a pcv niple and run a hose from the niple to a catch can and from the catch can to the intake niple. I would then block off the drivers side pcv nipple. Then id run a hose from the throttle body to the fresh air inlet on the passenger side valve cover.
Basically im seeking advice on whether or not this will work. And is a catch can necessary, recomended, or just for guys who like the inside of there intake clean. I would appreciate your guys thoughts on this.

I blocked off my TB, and I run a split from the LS6 Valley and the intake nipple to the top of the Catch Can. Then the return goes to the valve cover. I blocked the other two valve cover lines.
I've seen others run from the LS6 to the Intake, and then block off everything else, without a catch can, but a catch can is better, for those metal shards that the oil pan doesn't pick up.
