.....if you use 2 banjo fittings (1 per side) in between the head and your breather assembly....you would need to remove the (thickness of the banjo) off the breather back plate ....this way the breather bolt remains the same length .....thus by-passing the vent into the throttle body venture .

Thanks professor

yes where they bolt into the heads, the bolts are hollow and they dont come much longer than the ones on SE breathers, I'm not sure about your setup but if you have the stock brass bolts with the nipple take one out and match em up and see if they're long enough to reach into the head threads if so your almost home just plug on a hose.
