I just picked some Indy valve covers and a Moroso header evac kit? For the people that have used that, or something similar, are you using a baffle under the breather? If so, how did you mount them?

yes just drill some holes and make sure you use lock nuts.

This is what we used. Installed in the top front of the valve cover.

Thanks for the pics. Any problem with sucking oil?

Wade, you have a lot going on in your engine compartment, looks good. I have my breathers at the front of the valve cover with no baffle and haven't had any oil sucking issues. Jim

I don't have any oil sucking issues (that I know about...)

cl440 setup is much nicer and better.

Having them in front should help with oil sucking but I didn't like the looks of the hoses running from the front so I put them in the back.

I run Mr. Gasket baffled breathers in the front with no evac. No oil ever out of those and they just lift right out of the grommet pretty easily.

Shoguns are cool, they actually have a nut on the bottom of them. The ones I had didn't have enough thread to utilize the nut on the thick valve covers so I had them welded in.

These Shoguns are on my V-drive with cast Mopar valve covers.
