well, my new manifold restricts where my oil catch can goes. it won't fit with the new manifold. so, i ask, what options do i have in terms of ethier relocating it, or cutting it in half as a model and building a new one? here's a pic of my predicament. i'm thinking about getting some flexible hose, and running it from the pipe backwards and mounting the catch can against the firewall.

just buy new hoses and don't bolt it to the head. just let it hang there.

Get longer hoses and mount it somewhere else. I haven't figured out where mine will go yet.

Replaced the T fitting on the valve cover with a single fitting, closed off the recirc pipe at the rear of the motor and put a single pipe to the catch can.

See the second fitting on the can that has a brass blanking screw in it? You can run a hose from that back to the recirc pipe at the back of the motor.

2nd option:

Use a single entry can like this and run a pipe from this to one side of the T on the valve cover. Run a piece of heat proof hose from the other side of the T over the exhaust manifold to the factory recirc pipe.

Both of the above are oil-air seperators.

For a simple oil catch can simply emulate the factory setup and use a can with an entry and an exit with no air breather.
