Ventilation in Original 427

[dandascott]

I have an original 427 side oiler with the original cast iron heads and original2x4 intake. I am using the "Shelby" LeMans valve covers. I have not run the engine yet and I am looking for some help with the crankacase ventilation. I have read many post on this and seen many variations but I did not see a matching situation to mine (though it surely must exist here).

I plan on only street driving. My plans were to get a K&N valve cover breather for each side and a "S" shaped oil breather attached to the rear of the intake.

With this arrangement do I need some plumbing down the frame rail taking gases away from the engine compartment ? I do not want to drill and tap into the original intake and like everyone I want to minimize oil spray in the engine compartment.

Any advice or pictures will be helpful.
