What do you think about installing a PCV valve inside the manifold in the partition between the front intake ports and the front internal engine chamber. It seems to be possible. It would be hidden. The rear fuel pump stand would get a K & N type filter for an oil fill and breather intake (electric fuel pump.)
Has this been done? Did it work?
Thank you, Bob

Hey Bob ..... This may be right up your alley, or NOT! I put together this extensive post about four years ago as we built an 8BA with the early Thickstun intake. We wanted an easy to access PCV valve, but one that was hardly seen. Lots of good info and ideas about PCV applications. Lots of pictures plus part numbers list. Click the link BELOW!
