Michael--

I certainly can't give you an opinion more qualified than your own but will
be interested to hear how it works out for you.

Harold, that is exactly what I have done. The PCV valve is located behind t=
he exhaust manifold and pulls from the crankcase through a flange attached =
to the down tube location. It feeds into a fitting brazed to the bottom of =
the carb balance tube. It is invisible to casual observation. I have instal=
led H6 carbs with 2-1/2 inch velocity stacks and covered them with a single=
 piece Pipercross foam air filter. The vent to the valve cover comes out of=
 the rear of the air cleaner between the carbs. I don=92t know (or really c=
are) if it has reduced any emissions, but I=92m not getting oil into the ai=
r cleaner anymore.
