i want to put a PCV valve on my 350 engine .

I have done a search and came up with 2 places ,but i dont know which one is best for me.
1 in the manifold vacume hole like for the brake booster
2 in the air filter.

here is some history on my truck and engine

my engine is in a thousand pieces now ,i get the block back tomarrow .just had the cranck polished ,block cleaned and cam brearings instaled.

about 6 months ago i got a 1989 2 door isuzu trooper
4 banger with blown head gasket ,4x4 nice shiny black paint, perfect interior,it's nice

then i cut out all of the independant front end,engine/tranny, rear axle

put in a 3/4 ton solid front axle and rear with 4:56 gears.  up on lift springs and a body lift with 40" super swampers tires
L&L ladder bars
rear disc brakes
1 ton master cylinder
chevy truck steering box/astro van steering shaft grafted to isuzu colomn

built up a TH350 with nice parts inside and have a NP203 transfer case for it.

put chevy motor mounts in it

thas the truck.

i picked up a 1980-85 350 and started colecting parts for it, it will build it this weekend,finaly!

heres my build
stock X rods
sealed power coated hypereutectic flat tops
COMP CAMS 270 XTREME 4X4 CAM AND LIFTERs
cross wind air gap dual plane manifold
springs that match the cam
viton seals
crane cams hardend push rods
double roller chain
standad volume oil pump
holley blue fuel pump and regulator
cleaned up the valves on stock 1.94 truck heads
predator carburetor
flow master mufflers 2.5"
2" carb spacer like predator asks for
stainless block hugger headers
new harmonic dampner
hamburger 7 quart oil pan and pickup windage screen and crank scraper
new head bolts,cam bolts,oil pump bolt,and other small BS gaskets,brass plugs bla bla bla
aluminum valve covers and timing cover and some one gave me a set of rocker stud girdles ,so i am going to put that on for $hits
and a serpintine belt set up.

still need to buy a reverse rotation aluminum high volume water pump,2400-2600 tourqe converter and a mallory HEI,flex plate,and some chineese stainless roller rockers and i am done.

How do you all think this thing will run?

i will put a crank case breather on one valve cover and a PCV on the other, but to where?

my air filter will be a k&N piped inside the cab of the trooper with 4" tubing

i know allot of this crap for my engine i dont realy need but it's all for fun in my toy truck.

PCV to a manifold vacuum source. Usually a fitting at the base of the carb. Air filter will not work.

thats what i was thinking.

i will tap a hole in the carb spacer. or get a T fitting for the brake booster and PCV valve in the manifiold,

is it better for each to have there own hole?

thanks for the fast reply
