Paint was eaten away all around that area and it was rusted. Looked like ****. So I relocated my battery to the trunk and took out the stock battery tray/overflow tank in favor of swapping in a stainless overflow tank. The cubbyhole in the framerail that the stock overflow tank resided in was almost the perfect size. Thing is though, with the battery out of the way there is enough space freed up that you could mount two catch cans in that spot if you wanted to: one for the radiator, (if you wanted it), and one for the oil.
Probably a more complicated solution than you wanted to hear but what about these cars isn't complicated?

yea i was thinking of doing it too. but how hard is it to do? just run a line to the back and have the battery set up there? If I do that I should prolly re-run the lines to my amps as well huh? so the power doesnt go to the front just to have to come all the way back again.

My setup is ran exactly like the factory PCV setup but it just has the catch can on the drivers side and a filter on the passenger side. It works very well for me. I can post more pics on Saturday night when I get back to my home computer.

I had more pics but didn't have time to get them loaded up the passenger side of mine is ran exactly like the factory setup but it just has a duetsh filter in the valve cover connected to the factory vaccume line going into the passenger side of the Throttle body.

That is the PCV valve and it is about half way down the drivers side of the intake manifold.

Maybe later I will try one on that side but the drivers side seems to have alot in it also. I have stopped somewhere between a 1/2 - 3/4 of a quart on the drivers side so far in about 10,000 miles with my setup. How is yours setup on the passenger side?

Could you elaborate? You have a filter on the passenger side? Is that a breather? I was going to trash my breather and just put a catch can in line between the right side valve cover and the throttle body. Would a catch can on both sides be better?

The oil I am sucking in is directly through the PCV system. almost none from the pass Valve cover..
look here.

The driver's side is ran like in the earlier pic that I posted in this thread with a catch can inline. If you need that pic again let me know.

Yeah, can't see it, but this is a good pic and explanation:
http://collop.cz28.com/custom2.html
If I run a setup like yours should I keep the breather or plug it? I'm getting oil dripping out onto my plug wires, valve cover, etc. I was under the impression that I should vent the crankcase with the additional pressure added by the blower, is that right?
