Does anybody make a finned valley pan with the breather?  Would prefer an aluminum one but not required.  Found a posting back from 06 and at the time nobody made one.  Prefer the breather in valley pan vs the valve covers.  Has anybody added a breather to a finned pan before. 

Here is where my interest arised from.

I think the covers Mummert is producing will have provisions for the stock breather. It wouldn't be difficult to drill a cast cover for a breather but space is limited on the valley cover.
You can use a similar process as described here: http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/Topic3719-3-1.aspx?

Mine was done on a mill with the head angled to match the tube angle on a tin cover. The hole was cut so that a s@#b chrome filler fit tight in it. Looks good and no leaks (so far). Chuck in NH

Y's guys rule!

Bfooter: Maybe I misunderstand your question, but as pointed out there is almost no room for a separate breather in the valley pan. Your existing screened Oil Filler Cap is also the breather. Make sure it's kept clean. And no I wouldn't cut breathers into a set of original T.Bird covers either. Is there a lower draft tube breather on the drivers side of the engine? Or a draft tube breather at the back of the valley pan? .. and that's a nice photo of your engine!

Paul perhpas I was not clear enought.  I am not wating to add an additional breather to the valley pan but looking for afinned one that has an oil filler like the OE pans do.  I would like to take credit for the engine but its just a picture I found on the net.

I purchased a Vintage Speed item and then had a fill tube hole machined into it in the exact same spot as the original pan referenced off the bolt that mounts the pan. worked out pretty good, I shortened the tube also as the original stuck out like a sore thumb.

Nice work Dutchy - and the photo nails it...........

Those covers are beautiful when you've got a new motor to admire. But how are you guys going to keep that set of fins clean?

My machinist suggested that it would help to take it over and have it anodized or powder coated clear - and another suggested chrome plate.
