BT,
If the vacuum port is under the carb as opposed to in one of the runners you should be ok , with only a minor idle adjustment. Don't forget a pcv valve. This restricts flow at max vacuum so you won't really have a major leak as if it were just the hose. At WOT there isn't all that much vacuum either. If you can place the valve in a grommet in one valve cover and add a filter to the other , or leave it connected to the flame arrester. If your engine oil looks ok , I wouldn't worry about it too much. Like aero-offshore said , this was a very common occurence back in the 50s and 60s till positive crankcase vents appeared.

Re: What to do about cream cheese
My oil doesn't look good. It is frothy. Problem is, after I rebuilt this engine and got it running I had the unpleasant revelation that the aluminum head was not prepare properly and I dumped significant antifreeze into the brand new engine. Then I replaced this head. So I am not really sure what I am dealing with, just know that everything I pressure test looks fine. And I have done everything at least once. I wonder how one gets antifreeze out of oil? Thanks for the verify Mo... that is kind of how I was thinking the pcv setup should be arranged. Good luck with your ps debacle.

Do you have large cams in these engines? Water reverting could also cause you to drop a valve. Hot valves and water don't mix. How do you dump water overboard?
