That's what I was asking...

Why go to the effort of that much work when you can just use an existing hole that's available....

I've made one up, probably over complicated. A baffle to deflect the oil throw would definitely be in order. Various other motors have plastic filler/breather caps with sundry hose connections,you could see if there's one of adaptable proportions. The piccies in Ebay listing are great for identifying likely candidates, 'n I've seen a rack full of spurious ones in Halfords.

As others have siad, if you need that much more in the way of breathers, I'd suggest there is a problem that needs to be sorted elswhere (rings, bore, etc)

Fit a breather on the transfer case and link it to the rocker cover

Then if you still have breathing problems, i'd have a look at an evacsump

It's not a standard engine

Fair enough, but I've put together some serious HP engines, mostly 16 valve, some based on small bore blocks, some big bore and never needed more than a single 1/2" Breather. I usually take them off from the Transfer Housing, it's all too easy to get Oil Surging up the ones on the Timing Chain cover.
