LS1 block / LS7 topend PCV question.
Whats the best way to handle the PCV system if I am using a sleeved LS1 block and LS7 heads/intake and TB. I want to use the GMPP valve covers that have no PCV fittings. I will also want to incorporate a catch can in the system. Thanks for any help.

Bob, this is not a dry sump like a true LS7 engine. He's running LS7 heads on an older block that's been re-sleeved for larger pistons. This is a wet sump engine with more displacement and new heads and intake.
RedC5ragtop,
Since you're doing this much to the engine anyway, why not buy an LS6 valley cover, put in a PVC valve and run it to the intake? Incorporate a catch can between the PVC valve and the intake if you want.
