Just reverse the doghouse and run a hose from it straight down. Make sure there are no high spots in the hose. Its quick and easy, plus looks like a big truck when sitting there idling.

I ran mine to a catch can then to the atmosphere. Only reason I did a catch can was to catch the oil. Should had been atleast dumped from the factory, the oil hurts the silicone boots.

Mine just dumps right down to the ground under the drivers side door, never seen it drip oil or anything.. as for the intake plug, I used the carb style vaccum plugs with no issues.

if you are adding an IC make sure to mod it. if you run a hose out of the doghouse move it past the cab so you don't have the smell. to block off the intake i ground the part inside the intake off flush and used a cap on the outside. i have heard of people removing the whole piece into the intake and epoxying over the hole

To plug the hole I made a stainless oval shaped tab that used the screw and put some RTV on to seal it up good. Never got to run that one though, I ended up having to get the updated Ford intake which used a plastic piece instead of the cast aluminum one.

Or go to your local exhaust shop and ask for a scrap piece of 4" tubing. Spray paint it and install.
