Putting a PCV valve system on a 59AB block

I have a 304 stroker 59AB block that I have been loosing oil out of at a fairly high rate. I have begun to wonder if its because of its longer stroke, that maybe its pushing oil out or dragging it by the vent with its longer rotating stroke by the pan draft system going down the road at highway speeds. I have a 4:11 in it presently with a Columbia in its near future to reduce motor RPM. I am running lighter weight synthetic oil in it as well which I have went back to a heavier grade of semi synthetic oil( not wanting to get into that debate really) I can change to heavier grades of oil to try but I doubt that is a issue honestly. I assume someone has converted them to a pcv system at some point probably, I am just looking for ideas. I was thinking of blocking that original pan vent and installing a pcv valve to suck out of the front intake galley and let it draw air in through the original incoming vent in the back. Thoughts on that?
Thanks Ron
 
Block off down draft tube, install pcv valve in that block off plug. Run the hose to a point below carb on the intake, drill and tap for fitting.
Someone makes a plug for that, maybe speedway?
 
I stand corrected,
You have a 59AB not an 8BA.
The only system I found for that was done by Fourdy Over on the H.A.M.B.
if you search there it’s easy to find.
