Since you are handy with fabrications:
I saw a catch can once (can't remember where....) that plugged directly into the hole the PCV valve was supposed to go. The unit was about 2" tall and the PCV valve plugged into the top of the catch can.
The beauty of this design is that you never have to empty it. The oil that is stopped by the catch can just drips back into the valve cover. I thought it was genius in it's simplicity.

BTW, I love the looks of your unit! That is some nice welding.

Thanks on a street car setup i wouldn't want to do a drain back setup, moisture forms inside of a catch can making a milky solution and you don't want that back in the engine


heres a couple more weld pics from different projects

Nice set up, I had to clean up the thread some and sent you the vendor information letter that you asked about.

Not to be argumentative, but that milky junk (moisture) is commonly in your engine when it is cold. When the car is driven and getting up to normal running temp, that stuff burns (evaporates) off and you are left with clean oil again.

BTW, awesome focus! What kind of numbers do you run with that?

Yea I know this the problem is most or 90% of the people don't know its already in the motor so when they see it they freak out knowing its going back into their motor. So I decided not to make it drain back. Actually my focus has a -10 drain back hose on it for the catch can.

I took the Focus out on pump gas 454whp to the track a couple weeks ago, I ended up blowing out the internals in the IAC valve causing it to no build boost on the 2-step. With me bogging a 1.998 60ft it still went 11.8 @ 120 something. Ive taken it to the 1/8 mile and trapped 101mph which i was happy about. it trapped 100mph on the 11.8 1/4 pass.
