I agree with Dave. The "pcv in the passenger side" and "open breather in the driver side" valve covers works very well. It's a simple, straight forward system that is really hard to argue against.

thanks for the advise that was what i was looking for i will just run it in the valve cover like i did with my small block. i just thought it would be a nice clean look from that rear plate but i dont want any oil leaks or any oil in my t body.

I have been running the basket from Gessford for 3 years now with a single breather in the front of the blue thunder intake. No problems and it is a clean look. For a gasket I matched up a t-stat gasket from the parts store, no sealant. I think it cost $70 when I bought it.

I bet I've spent $70 in RTV alone.... Dang FEs.

I am having a stack injection manifold built for my FE. So, can I eliminate the breather if I run PCV on the passenger side valve cover and the breather on the other? It would be nice to lose that opening.
