A question for the Flat Head V8 gurus: PCV ventilation,

I have on back order a triple Offy intake for a 1938 to 48 flathead. It will go on my 8BA motor (1949 to 53) . ( Edelbrock discontinued the similar manifold.) I dislike the road draft and fill tube holes in the later manifold.

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
