Default Ideas for breather (crossram)

Looking for ideas for a breather for the right side valve cover. I don't want to buy the VERY expensive crossram air cleaner fitting.
http://www.heartbeatcitycamaro.com/s...In-The-USA%21/

I do have a factory style inline flame arrester but no way to connect from the air cleaner to the valve cover. My air cleaner is a repop wide base with out any holes in it. Anybody have an alternative fitting for the air cleaner base? My intake is a STR10 Edelbrock, so far from stock.


Thanks
Scott

This is whom I buy my cross ram parts from...great guy and will work with you on pricing.

His parts are better then everyone else on eBay.

Of...if the price comes way down or they repo these...

Any 3/4" push-in chrome aftermarket breather will work in the stock valve cover. Mr Gasket and others make these for under $10. Some are available with no name or markings.

Thanks for the comments! The problem with the push in breathers, is that the fuel log is in the way. I can do a factory elbow and hose, but that fitting seems to be expensive for a repop. I guess it is a suppy/ demand thing. Any other ideas?

I'd find a way to connect these. A PVC system needs to closed (routed from air cleaner to valve cover) to function properly, although open breathers will work. Find a 90 degree end that is threaded in the correct size (the one I posted is just an example).

is there a PCV valve in the other (left) valve cover? move that to the right side and put the push-in breather in the left side.

No vacuum manifold port on that side of the engine to run PCV on a cross ram. He might have it tide into the booster as well so really not an option.

Dave is right. I do have the pcv tee'd into the booster port. It's not pretty but works. I was looking for more of a stock-ish look. I never even thought of an AN fitting under the air cleaner. The chrome VC breathers would look a little out of place (not that the msd box and K&N style filter doesn't)

Use the flame arrestor breather. I used them on my race car for many years after I saw Grump using them on his Vega. No issues with them.
