If anyone is still following this....

Got tired of those damn breathers dripping EVERYWHERE and installed a new catch can.

Got a fabled Boostworks catch can from a friend. And even though they say it works with Prochargers, it just doesnt. I tried everything I could and the pulley just sat way too close for my liking (less than a half inch).

So I set out to make it useable as I think it's the best designed catch can I've ever seen. Large capacity, nice fit/look, and a sunk in breather so dripping is not possible.

Here you can see it's way too large to fit, so I brought it to a welding shop and had it cut down a few inches.

Painted it up and installed, I couldn't be happier with the outcome and look of it.

And for the bonus treat, I had a bung welded on the bottom and ran a drain line down to the bottom. Right next to the Procharger drain, I can simply empty the can at every oil change. SO much easier than breathers, or my old catch can.

Definitely still following. In the process of getting a new block put in mine after my cylinder 8 died too. Love that catch can! May well be an option for mine too.

how many miles on the original engine? Are you going with a direct stock replacement?

About 45k total miles. Tuned tight with a bad tank of gas on a long, hot pull. Learned a hard lesson. Engine technically still ran but smoked bad as the ring was toast. Going with a stock gen 3 short block and will re-use my gen 2 heads.
