Oil fill and pcv/breather.

Breather and pcv.

(Oil fill is the big cap, already covered.)

So the PCV valve screws into the threaded opening under the filler cap? Is that a standard 5.7 item that will transfer over to the MP intake? Or something I will have to hunt down or make?

Can't recall if the pcv valve goes in the side or in the front by the cap. It's only been 12 years...

I am pretty sure it is not a 5.7 pcv valve, it is from some other application, 5.7 does not use a hose, crate engine did.

I might still have the crate engine I sheet on cd someplace. Would take awhile to find it, though. (everything is boxed up).

look at an 05 Magnum with the 5.7 for the PCV valve

For the PCV

The stock 5.7 pcvs are a quarter turn thing with no hose attached.
They won't work with this intake.

The old crate intake intake uses a pcv from some other application that screws in the front near the oil cap, and a hose runs to it from there.
The valve looks like one from a 2.0 or 2.4.

Run a breather hose to a breather tank, or a small k&N type breather or whatever you've got, off the fitting in the side of the intake.

I have the efi version been searching the same issues. pcv that will thread into small port below oil fill is napa number 2-9627 fits 2.4.

Also could you just machine that breather hole for npt threads and just run a breather right from the intake?

Sometimes it's great to be reminded your memory isn't as shot as you thought it was (thanks)

I knew it looked like a 2.0 or 2.4 pcv but couldn't remember what it was actually from.

Run the NAPA PCV valve screwed into the front of the intake with a hose to one of the fitting son the back of the intake and then a breather hose from the air cleaner to a valve cover?

Run a breather off the port labeled "intake breather port" in the picture above.

Is that nipple what is missing in this picture?

Is that nipple piece still available from Chrysler? Tried searching and calling dealer both came up with nada. measuring the hole looks like it would be easy to machine to 1/4 npt threads which would be much easier to source. Just pisses me off that you have to spend a $1000 dollars for this and can't get parts or have to make stuff work.

Also not to thread hijack in the pic above can you still get the map sensor that works with this manifold? I need a 4 bar cause I have boost. Thanks

Honestly I think it was kind of cheesy, it was just a bubble flared chunk of steel tubing pressed in the hole. If I remember right it was only sold with the crate motor.

You're probably better off creating something different/better.

If I can scrounge up any more instructions that refer to this, I will look for the sensor and let ya know. I remember absolutely nothing about that from my 8+ run working there, but unfortunately never worked hands on with this intake during that time period.

I agree the price is crazy, always has been, the fellow managing the program was somewhat rushed and the casting/machining work ended up going to high dollar prototype shops instead of mp's normal intake foundry out in CA, the one with the "BB" casting mark (buddy bar). He brought the product to market quickly that way, but after he left mp seemed to be no marketing interest in resourcing/managing it. So there it sits, kind of stuck.

Is this where the MAP sensor goes?

Since this is the breather port that goes to the air cleaner, I understand that these engines have a tendency to pump oil out of these ports. I am going to run this to an Air Grabber and really don't want to ruin an oval air filter with oil stains. There were oil catch cans for the Gen III's that people upgraded to in the early days, is this where it was "spliced" into? This might effect how I try to fix the missing fitting issue.

No need to get a special late model catch can, something like this will work

Yes I believe that's the sensor location. No I can't remember anything about the sensor itself

First off, I appreciate all the help. I am working toward an OEM type of engine graft and whatever I do has to be hidden. I have access to machines at a tubing repop company and they think they can make me a stainless knock in nipple for the open "port" in the rear. I can even make a line that comes up higher and routes under the air cleaner base to hide something that will separate the oil and air so I can have my breather hose coming off the Air Grabber base. I will start searching for a separator. Something small, I think.
