This car is awesome. Great work!!
Are those the aftermarket clear turn signal lenses from IPD?
Why are missing butt cheeks a problem? nothing to hold on to?
I'm hard eyeing your crank case setup (because I haven't picked a path myself yet). The ProVent isn't as big in there as I thought, and much cleaner than the Yoshi thing I got with a million AN fittings sprouting off of it.
So you T the stock crank crank box output into one of the cam cover lines, then T those two lines together into the ProVent intake, correct?
That's correct. There's also a 3/8" line teed into the hose coming off the factory separator box which runs to a check valve in the intake manifold.
And it looks like the ProVent intake is some kind of molded silicone hose?
Yep
Where'd that come from?
It's a generic 1" silicone 45 degree elbow. I have a bunch of them in use on the car of various dimensions. They are all from eBay, ~$8 each.
What'd you use for a T-fitting there?
The tee is a pex fitting from the hardware store. I like these because they are readily available, fit well, and aren't an eyesore.
And the outlet of the ProVent is not visible, but routed back to the intake.
Correct. That has 90 degree 1" molded silicone elbow which then connects to a 1" silicone hose running under the oil thermostat and plumbs into the intake pipe.
Think the stock sep box is necessary with the ProVent or was it just easier to keep it?
It was easier for me to keep it. I figured why not, and others have had success with it.
My main headache is squeezing something in that can be mounted high enough to drain back to the redblock return location. Having the ABS pump leaves me with hardly any room.
If you want me to push any more of my concerns onto your thread just let me know.
More things:
Fancy stainless heater hose fittings showed up, so I replaced the crusty original fittings.
Hello
Can you please tell me where you bought the stainless heater hose fittings?

Every time I see this car it makes me want to skip b234 and go straight to t5. Thanks for the inspiration, Tom.
Nice work! Thanks for the update! Everytime I read someone's success story it makes me want to dig my car out and finish it.
oh right, updating build threads! forgot about that.
Nice to see the video. Everything is look top notch. Car going down for winter storage?

I dig this project so very much.
Closing on a new house next week and one of the (2) key things I wanted was a better workshop/garage spot, which it has. Finally will have indoor workspace with room for storage of 2 cars. My 264 will have a whiteblock!
