I went ahead and did a little search for you and came up with this link. It shows you how to make your own and where to install it. Good luck. ..........Bert.

After reading that seems like the L's have the same problem the Cobra's and V6 stangs do. I have a V6, this problem becomes very apparent when you add roller rockers to the V6. This is what I did. First I placed steel wool in the PCV baffle. This cannot get back into the engine as it is in the baffle so no problems there. While you have the baffle plate off, you enlarge the drain hold in the baffle plate. After I did that I would still see some oil in the intake, but it was significantly less. I then added a fuel filter inline with the PCV line going to the intake. That seemed to cure it.

I know there are other ways... just sharing my way. steel wool and enlarging the baffle drain.

the 5.0 Mustangs have a steel wool sort of filter under the PCV valve to help the oil from getting sucked up.

Guess all Fords are supposed to use oil

TampaBlack99, I had looked at that catch can several times along with several others. Could you answer a question for me about it? Does it have a drain valve to drain the can or do you have to remove the entire can every time you need to empty it? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Yes there is a drain plug, I went to home depot and bought a valve that fit in the hole perfect. Once the can is almost full, all I have to do is open the valve and catch all the oil with a cup. On the backside of the can there is also a tube that tells you how much oil is in the can, so once mounted you never have to remove nothing.

Very nice, Have you had much oil get by the catch can and into the intake? I would expect a little oil vapor but not much. Another question is the drain plug threaded so you can just screw in the valve? I appreciate the help.

what would be really trick is if you could find someway to drain the oil back into the engine.

Yes, alittle oil vapor does get passed the can, the one big minus about the GReddy catch can is the inside is one big chamber. It would be nice to weld a divider plate inside the can so the air is forced down into the steel pad material I installed. I think I have 2 ways to solve this, just don't have the time right now to try them. The hole on the backside is threaded and has a simple plug installed. Remove plug and insert valve, very simple.

Here is a pic of the PCV line removed from the back of the plenum...this is where you want your separator.
