PCV setup with Mustang 5.0 Valve covers

[reynard101]

Well my EFI motor build stalled at the EFI part. Going to go carb for a while. I have Mustang 5.0 cast aluminum valve covers, one has oil filler and vent tube, the other has no holes. Can/How do I hook up the PCV system without drilling the no-hole valve cover? How does it work on the EFI engine?

one option would be to get some used metal 5.0 covers and cut the hole you need.
otherwise you'll need to see if you could sue a breather pcv combo
something like this http://mr-gasket.com/engine-compone...r-breather/chrome-breather-w-pcv-fitting.html

Or find one in a junkyard that has the correct fitting in the valve cover.
The most of the 5.0 EFI engines have the valve in the lower intake manifold instead of the valve cover.
But there are a few out there that do I think.

The EFI manifold has the PCV valve in the rear of the manifold. Even if you did drill the passenger side valve cover, you'd be missing the baffle, and you'd wind up sucking a bunch of oil up the PCV line.

I've got a pair of the cheapie chrome valve covers, with the PCV grommet and breather, you can use. Just come over and pick them up (get them out of my garage!) They still have the cork gaskets on them. I'm at 35th Ave & Deer Valley. PM me if you want them.
