Just curious if anyone has the info:

How does the PCV system work on the Voodoo as far as relationship with the intake and cylinders? Is there a mapping that one can view?

I’m only asking because back in the late 80’s early 90’s, Ford had an issue with the 5.0 Full Size Broncos blowing out cyls 4 & 8 due to the early design of the PCV system and how it was routed via the intake/cylinders. IIRC, this was a common failure point for the 87-90 MYs. Ford rectified the issue with a revised intake and where PCV was located or mapped for the 91-94’s. I have the actual Ford docs stored somewhere - because I owned both an 87 and 94....

I’m curious if such a PCV issue could cause a similar internal failure with the Voodoo?

I don't think so, but PCV is very important on the voodoo. It does create more pressure than a coyote, so managing blowby has been a bitch for folks. I vent to atmosphere using a Peterson breather and have had issues keeping up. I'm working on a more robust catch can system that will use the intake to pull vacuum (similar to OEM).

Ideally, you'd run a vacuum pump. But the pump would to run off a mandrel and that would require changing out the harmonic balancer - which is a huge risk.

Would an upgraded oil pump from the gen 2 voodoo rectify the issue?

There is no upgraded Voodoo oil pump.

Gen 2 uses the same oil pump. GT and GT500 use different pumps with the GT500 pump being higher flow. It'll ultimately depend on what went wrong. If oil starvation related, decent chance of it.
