keep the std breather , its an oil seperator , pipe from that into a catchcan 4 inch round 6 inch long , that should have a hose venting to atmosphere from the top of teh cylinder to underneath the car or a chassis member . you can vent the oil filler cap using an early steel one , its advisable to have a return to the sump , since youll be blowing a fair amount of oil out at high boost , but then youll also be breaking the gearbox at that high boost . :D

You can vent the head by using the filler cap from an OHV redblock (from a 140, Amazon, P1800, etc) which has a fitting and hose attached to the cap. They do tend to blow oil past a couple of seals (mainly the filler cap!)once you wind the boost up. The standard breather is fine for a stock engine, but can't really cope with 20+psi of boost.
