nice. thanks for the reply. ...as always, very very informative.
PCV: First, I'm an idiot because I was thinking backwards. Forgot the flow was to release air back into the manifold, rather then pull from it. That said, I think a diagram would be best to show how I envision setting everything up (which I'll draw up now and post in a few).
As for releasing air back into the manifold, just as I'm setting up the can for any vacuum needs (ie. booster, dizzy) so there's no pull directly from a runner, I would do the same in reverse. As the PCV dumps air, I would put that on a vac manifold (pre-can) so it can distribute it's air dump back into the manifold via all 4 runners.
Stock Oil Can: Yeah, I was thinking about the best way to mock that block fitting up with aftermarket parts, and ended up hurting my brain, so I'm going to end up doing what you said and sticking with the stock can in addition to an additional catch can. However, I'm assuming that additional can would have to be drained occasionally unless I tap the bottom of it and push that oil back into the motor via a Y fitting on the oil-pain hose as well.
I looked into the oil filter relocation more, and for the exact reasons you mentioned, I'm going to hold off on it.
You read my friggin mind on the use of a PVC pipe capped on both ends for the vac can too. Just this morning I was looking at all of the cans, and saw that the max any of the vac guages goes to is 30 in Hg, which is nothing more then a 14 psi negative pressure, which PVC would laugh at. Not only that, but that's free (courtesy of having a ton of spare pipe and fittings in my basement), in comparison to the $35-80 I would spend for one at Summit or Jegs.
I'll get a drawing together very soon.
