The motor runs great and i'm still putting miles on her.No leaks at all,however
I just finished building A breather box for it that's over 3 QTS with two pcv's
so the motor relieves itself of crankcase pressure.I'm setting up A dyno time
so I can finish tuning and get some numbers,i'll keep you boys posted.

Did you consider using an electric vacuum pump instead? Would make more power...especially when the cubic inch numbers go up.

Impressive... Very Nice!

Ryan I'm considering installing A Mechanical vacuum pump since I removed
the AC compressor,it should fit.

Do it if you can, you won't regret it. Good chance it will fit, based off a Moroso pump (I wouldn't use anything else personally), just make sure to size the pulley(s) correctly, they don'y like to be spun too fast, 6500 RPMish. I suggested the electric pump just for ease of mounting, no pulley's to deal with, can hide it pretty good, that sort of thing but all things being equal if your willing to do the initial work, Mechanical is what i would like to see on a semi-maximum effort combo.

Got my attention.

Plus what kind of vacuum can we get from electric pump.

I was going to try and fit a Moroso.

I see www.GZmotorsports.com have a comlete bolt on kits for lsx motors.

Reading this it looks like I was asked a question & never answered, sorry bout' that ...Not sure how that happened .

Can get an Electric Vac. pump from Engine Works, I can get the number if any of you need, (basically a GM smog pump) & you'll see 3"-4". Not a ton, but if you have a positive crankcase pressure situation, can make the world of difference.

I wouldn't recomend the GZ pump. Go Moroso if going mechanical.
