Put in the new Edelbrock upper and lower.
I've noticed that; I did not put the Metal piece that is held by the 2 drive pins, but oil was gonna make it's way uo their right.
But now im leaking oil from that removeable upper plenum, but I heard their's a quick fix for this, but I can't remember for my life what it is.

BTW thanks for all your sugestions, they came in handy.
Now I just need to fix this problem.

Without that little metal piece, it's almost like there's a vacuum line stuck right in the oil pan. The best solution would be to install the PCV baffle. Another possible solution would be to replace the PCV assembly at the back of the intake with a breather, maybe at the end of a hose., and the one of the valve cover with a breather. That should eliminate the vacuum pulling the oil up into the intake, the filters may get soaked with oil over time.

I just took everything out. Re-cleaned the surface where the heads, and lower intake meet.

Mannn, taking of that lower took longer than I thought, now im sure that we put a good seal on the lower. Feel sorry for the Mu**tha f'rrrr that has to take them out again, to install my heads next year.
ohhhh wait, that would be me.
