No I don't think a PCV valve adds any power, but on a street car it can help keep the engine clean. I'm going to try to see if I can get it set up to work on this engine but I might fail. I figure that starting with an adjustable PCV gives me a fighting chance of making it work.

Thanks, I have a good a document I found on an adjustable PVC. It' too big to upload though. PM me and I can email it to anyone who'd like to see it.

Got the Doctor Diff Viper kit hung on the front. Brake lines are run and the suspension is back in the car. Getting ready to take the car over to the chassis shop next week for some work. New roll bar, some tin work, mount the dash, fix the core support, etc.

I have that Wagner PCV valve that I'm going to do some testing with. I'm not using it like a conventional PCV and Wagner knows it.

I've done a bit of testing with it, but not enough to say what I'm doing will work.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

The new core support from US Car Tool is installed. I tweaked the design a bit so it would fit the C body radiator and I added dimple die hole on each side.

The new rollbar is in place. We put an X brace in the rear down tubes as well as the down bars behind the seat. The roll bar is Chrome Moly. The chassis guy did a really nice job on it. He also built new tin for the back seat area but it hasn't been finished up yet.

I'm going to put the 512 out of my Coronet in the Duster. I have a 426W based stroker that is going into the Coronet.

With the new core support it looks like I have enough room to run a stock water pump and a clutch fan. Tight, but it all clears. Or I can ditch the clutch fan and run a nylon or aluminum mechanical fan. I'll have to take a look at some options.

Nice work. One of the perks of using a motor plate, you get to mock up your cooling system.

Yeah I was thinking I needed to drop the engine into the car to check the clearances then I realized that I could just bolt the motor plate in and use that. Saved me a lot of time.

Here is a shot of some of the extra bracing added to the front of the car. We also installed the torque boxes but those are a little harder to get a shot of.

I like that up
Are you thinking of marketing them? If so I'll take a pair thumbs

That's fast becoming a work of art Andy.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are brilliant! I was thinking I would mock up cooling on my g3 swap while I was test fitting a bare block. Since I'm using a motor plate, AndyF has shown me the light! At the same time, I'm feeling like...."Duh, Doug".
