    Other then eye candy, can't figure out what it would be for...certainly way too low on the engine to be a breather... Going by the rest of the billet stuff on the engine, I'd bet it's a one off.

    i cant not help but i did a big block like this it vented thru the fuel pump rod i block the lifter valley off to keep the oil off the crank and returned the oil out of the valley out side of the block back in the oil pan.by the looks more like some place to add oil there is a oil drain back in the fuel pump cavity .

    IF you don't have oil fill holes in valve covers,buy new ones and remove the breather from fuel pump mount and replace it with A block off plate.
