That's a great idea. Since I have an extra set of covers I will be doing the same, much bigger breathing hole then.

I will be running my system through catch cans but I don't plan on running any pcv or check valves

Thanks for the pics Bill, I may have to have you build me a bracket I'll start gathering parts this week probably.

Good idea on the driver's side valve cover parish, I'll have to pick one up and do the same thing.

Thanks for the comments everyone, sounds like a PCV delete will be my next mod.

Have you thought about running a pan-e-vac system?

Oh. Yeah, I've thought about it. I think I'm gonna try a hybrid PCV and breather type system.

If you wanna do a breather setup what do you do with the line comming from the tb to valve cover and rear of the valve cover to the intake, do you just cap those off?????

Yes, if you want to do a straight breather set up, you cap off the lines from the
TB and Intake manifold to the valve covers.
