Welcome to the forum! The best way to keep an Ecotec leak free is vent the crankcase as GM intended, hosed right to the air inlet to maintain negative pressure. Good luck.

We put the dbw pedal in a dry box with my fuses and relays and then ran the cable to it, because we are constantly wet an muddy. You could probably mount yours in the normal position if you dont mind the different throw.

Thanks for the tip! So your saying rather than vent it with a small breather filter I should plumb it back into the intake?

Correct. Ecotecs have a baffle under the cam cover and do not use a pcv valve. Those cheesy little gauze breather elements you see are nothing but a sand/ dirt magnet. GM got it right.

I am installing a LE5 ecotec in my buggy rite now. Where is the port that I need to tie into the air cleaner for block venting? I have a small plastic pipe sticking out rite by the throttle body. Would that be the crank case vent? Also I'm mounting my DBW pedal in the normal spot. Will mud and water mess it up?

It goes from port on valve cover to anyplace in your AIR FILTER tubing after the filter and before the throttle body. In the case of a turbo car before the turbo. In the pic below you can see its ported to plastic box at inlet of throttle body.

I think riding the sand would be fun as F#@% for about a day. I'm going to take the Funco to Silver Lake sometime and do a ride up there, take a few pictures, take in the sights and then go home. I will write it up on the list of things I'll never want to do again, like getting shot at or getting hit head on.

How do you like that radiator? What did you have to give for that?

Running and everything seems to be working well except for the electric fan circuit. Relay supplied be afi was clicking off and on at about 150 degrees. I kinda thought I was pulling to much amperage off the relays (2) so I wired in my own relays (3), same thing. Ferther investigation shows a very low voltage to the afi relay at all times rising slowly till its at the point where it excites the relay only to trip it emidatly due to what I believe is low power therefore the clicking relay. What could be the cause? Coolant temp sensor? Thanks in advance.

Try adding a diode:
