Great article TX!
I would also suggest you don't ditch the pcv. Without it you would loose the flow through the engine. The gasses would just kind of hang out in there.
Think of an old attic fan in a house. Open the windows and the house is vented. Turn on the attic fan and a flow is created that moves the air though the house, much better. Especially if your trying to air out the house which is what you want in your engine. My 283 is designed to be vented front to rear, later they are side to side through the covers. I am ditching the later model Edelbrock manifold on mine for an earlier offy with the oil filler up front so I can use sealed covers. I will not put the new covers on until I change manifolds, don't want a stagnant (sp) engine.
PCV=gooood
