Just now completing the rebuild of my first born, a 32 roadster first completed in the late 70's. i want to use some vintage 7 fin Corvette valve covers, but they lac a way to let the motor "breath" or a way to add oil. I am sure someone has addressed this before, and i have some ideas on how to do it, but would just like to hear other people's ideas. And before you suggest it, i am not open to the idea of drilling the intake like in the 60's.

Are you using the old style, filler tube intake?

The PCV valve is no problem, all you have to do is drill and tap a hole in your intake that opens into the lifter valley. The other problem which is a bit more complicated is what to do about the fresh air intake.

Are you using an electric fuel pump? if so, you could do some custom fabracating and make a breather / oil filler out of some exhaust tubing a breather cap and cut a hole in the blockoff plate where the mechanical fuel pump went. Think about it, get creative, get a beer, sit down on a 5 gallon bucket and just look at it a while.

no, no valley breather MI2600, but great way to look at it with the fuel pump idea, 57. I always think better on beer. I also look better on beer. also makes it easier to get those singles in the g-strings.

The fuel pump idea jogged a memory for me. I saw a street rod at a run a couple of years ago that had a fuel pump block off plate modified to function as a PCV breather. They drilled out the plate and tapped it for a 90 degree 1/2" bulkhead fitting. A hose connected to the bulkhead fitting and ran up to a fitting under the air filter. Took me a while to figure out what was going on, but after studying it finally figured it out. The owner saw me looking at it and came over, about that time I said "OH I get it". I complimented him on the idea and the work.
