Removing breather from back of 283 and plugging

[beanpackrat1962wagon]

Hi guys I want to remove breather tube off the back of my 283 and run breather in valve cover (PCV) but what do I block the hole with in the block. If I were to use a soft plug does someone know what size I should get. Thanks

If you want to keep it stock looking, you could use one of these later breathers and just blank it off. You can find them cheaper than this one, but at least you can see what to look for.

You use that above and put the pcv in that hose to the carb. You just need to keep the oil fill tube vented
