Nice, John.
I'm waiting on the production run to get one too for my sbc. Does yours get piped back into the pan or do you need to drain it?

No, I have to drain it. If you look closely, you can see the aluminum hard line coming out from the bottom. That goes to a ball valve located behind the front air dam. Drainage should be a 2 minute operation.
I have to say that after 20 minutes drive time, I have zero oil in the catch can. Now that I've got my fuel lines fixed, I'll go on some longer drives and report back.

The can looks good there John and being that it is lower then the intake and no dips in the lines will help contain any oil for sure. The drain is very cool for sure.
I am also attaching a picture of the same catch can being used as a coolant overflow on Scotts camaro from Lateral G.

How does one select the correct pcv valve for the application. I was taught that they aren't interchangable due to them being based on engine size and vacuum. How does one select the proper pcv valve for say a low vacuum application?

I just got my catch can a couple days ago. I got it shipped here in about 3 days from the day i placed the order and Mike was extremely nice and helpful to me on the phone about getting my PCV system setup. The catch can looks amazing in person too. Very well made. Thanks Mike!

I got the valve at McMaster. Search for pn 7775K52. I modified it (cut the spring, removed O-ring) to allow easier air movement.

Thanks, John. I'll use that when I run a return to my oil pan this winter. When you said ball valve, I was thinking of some kind of spigot to do my draining easily!

Oh, wait.
I gave you the part number for the check valve between the air filter and the intake side of the PCV system.
For a ball valve, I used an Earl's part. Here's a link at Summit:

Forgive my ignorance...
Was this a bigger issue on 97-00 LS1s than later versions?
My 02 Camaro has the LS6 style intake (and I ' guessing LS6 style valve covers and PCV system). I've never had a problem w/ oil in the intake, this thing doesn't use any oil despite the road course beatings I give it.
Am I just lucky (for the lack of oil use), or is it just due to later year design?
I just picked up a C4 with a 98 LS1, and wonder if changing to LS6 top end will solve these issues. It will be a more track oriented car.
