Getting ready for new engine and I needed to get a breather assembly together that would have ample ventilation and eliminate leaks of open breathers.

A couple of observations;
1) There is always a small amount of combustion gas & raw fuel vapor bypass that enters the crankcase, even when everything is perfect. It is beneficial to remove these always,
and replace the vapors/gasses w/fresh air, why do You not want to run a PCV valve? I can't recall the thread back a ways suggesting a hose in the air cleaner as a "vacuum"
source to draw out the crankcase, but that is going to oil down your carb(s) and muck them up quickly, these gasses mix with & carry oil mist w/them always as well. Putting
a vacuum pump on to scavenge the vapors, while effective, is going to leave a stink behind You and grease up the inside of the exhaust. You are talented at fabbing, I would
highly recommend building a tandem PCV unit to the breather You have, properly made it'd minimize the oil vapor introduced to the intake.
2) Is Your hood bracing going to clear that filter? Looks to be tight.
3) Did You use an Air-lyft or some other coolant evac on Your system? If not the rad cap isn't working or the overflow is plugged/capped, judging by the flat upper hose,(last pic).
4) You're doing excellent work on Your ride, can't wait to see the finished project!! :thumbsup:
