Valve cover vents....

[Kindsvater Flat]

Does placement matter? Limited space due to shape of this crappy mopar.

[76BARRON]

[Kindsvater Flat]

Ok. I guess thats where they go then.

[Fiat48]

If you run a stud girdle...just be sure it's gonna clear it.

[Kindsvater Flat]

No girdle with a slopar :rollside:

Yup,
On my deal I needed to fall between the poly locks.

[GofastRacer]

I prefer them towards the front because most of the time the oil is forced to the back and you'll have less chance of blowing oil all over the place!..

Art, why is it that some circle racers don't run puke tanks?..seems a shame to have to wipe down the rear of the boat every time.----Steve

[superdave013]

if you put them there will you melt the hose on the header? Will they fit up higher on the angled part of the cover?

[wsuwrhr]

That's what I am taking about, more pics, it has been awhile since I have seen what a Dodge looks like put together.

Yea what Dave said, or more towards the middle of the cover.
Brian

[Kindsvater Flat]

The top side is to narrow and the headers wrap pretty close compared to the Bassetts or Rewarders. Here are some more pics.

[ColeTR2]

That looks great! Are you going to run a pan vac system into the headers?

[Kindsvater Flat]

Thats the goal.

[Morg]

Do you have enough room to install on the side of the cover??

[ColeTR2]

Looks like you have room to me
http://www2.***boat.com/image_center/data/524/738DSCF3058pv.jpg

[Kindsvater Flat]

Straight line its close. I'm hoping with the kick out of the weld-in tube that it will divert it enough to clear out of the way. If not I will just tie it down some way.
http://www.schoutenranch.com/miscboat/440/DSCF3063.JPG

[ColeTR2]

Where the vac goes into the headers is at a 45 degree. So that will make the tube go towards the blower and S around the headers maybe you can run a 30 degree in the end that goes into the valve cover to make the tube angle toward the blower. Then you can make a bracket off one of the black studs that hold on the blower to hold the tube.

[V-DRIVE VIDEO]

I can't believe your this far along after reading 2 pages (headed for 3) over breather placement... :sleeping: :rollside: put them forward.

[sixgunsam]

mike, you making that thing a roundy round boat?

Nope. Just a family ski boat.

That's all mine is. Family ski boat.

[sixgunsam]

does your current motor run off the balancer too?

[Kindsvater Flat]

No. Both motors run off the flywheel.
My boat is not a circle boat.

[wsuwrhr]

No. Both motors run off the flywheel.

So from your posts I am getting that you are going to try circle racing?

K-Flat... It's obvious, you need to post more pics if you plan on gettin' those breathers on by the end of the season...... :cool: :cool: :cool:

I think he is going to try his hand at circle racing.
Brian

[Kindsvater Flat]

Hows any of your boats running Brian?

[Oldsquirt]

I think if Brian was a nice guy, he'd mill up some breathers with a 45 degree mounting flange for ya. :) That would put 'em on there in a nice upright position and away from the headers. Looking good Mike.

[wsuwrhr]

They are both powered by Dodges..... :) :) :)
Neither are, why would you ask?

Dammit if I didn't think of that.
Mike,
Since you are building a circle boat..... :) :)
If you want me to throw a slight angle on those parts I would be happy to do so for you.

K, Did ya drill the holes yet?

[Kindsvater Flat]

Nah. I just came in from adjusting the valves. Tomorrow night I will drill the holes. Had K-Flat Jr wrenching on the old motor so it can come out. I was working on the tractor again.
