Installing trickflow intake

[cliff88145]

Ok I did not think this would be the hardest part of the H/C/I swap but the intake has been a pita. where does this go and what is it for?

It rotates down toward the ground, into the back of the lower intake

You will see a hole, filled with a grommet and a screen below it...

Thanks I see it now. Its like a foot away. Guess I need to go get more tubing.

PCV valve

What do u guys use? Can I go to auto zone and get a longer peace?

It should not be that far away. You may have to run that hose around some other hoses to get to it, but it should reach it, just like it does from the factory intake.

I had problems getting mine to reach for some reason as well. I actually cut the hose in half and threw on a oil sperator and some extra hose.

The trickflow intake is not even close to the factory one. Under the intake the vacuum holes are not the same size or location. What does the pcv do?

crankcase ventilation. You do need it.

You do need it.

Does anyone else have a problem with the pcv hose/valve reaching?

It should be close enough to reach, even by the pictures, but it may be a little 'cocked' in the grommet.

I had problems dude, because it seemed to be set back further and I had to use a phenolic spacer to clear my egr from hitting my fpr so it barely reached

Seems like it should be in the same place (more or less) Should be in the middle rear of the lower. I would think the placement couldnt change all that much to make the hose not reach.

It appears from the picture, and a couple friends intakes that I have seen, is part of the problem is the "screw-in portion" of the pcv valve hose is mounted on the side of the trickflow upper intakes, instead of underneath, like the factory/Edelbrock uppers are.

I do not think it is a problem with the pcv valve grommet location, but where the intake to hose connector is located. Locating it just that much further by it being directed more toward the driver side, than the center of the back of the block.

I am sure the reason they locate it on the outside is to clear taller valve covers...
