Default need help!!! oil problem

i have just boughta 84 shelby charger that pukes oil out the vent module (the box were the pcv valve is). it is going up thourgh the module into the air box leaking EVERYWHERE making the car smoke and a bigmess. i bought a new pcv, changed the head gasket, put in a windage try out of a 89 shadow, and even thought it was the egr valve and air pump so took them off.the only thing that helped was cutting scotch brite pads to fit in the triangular shaped hole to slow the air down. does anyone know what my problem is. [:@]you just might save a snellby fromme seeing how high and long it can rev. thank you

How many miles are on the motor? Sound like it could use a some piston rings. How did you get a windage tray out of an 89? Did you install the balance shaft assy. in your 84?

60,000 miles are on it. when i replaced the head gasket you could still see hone marks. it wasnt scracthed or glossy even the cam and head looked good. but the windage tray went right in,it wasthe same engine just a diffrent type of tray and valve cover. off the shelby was a small two peace tray and chrome cover. while the shadow was a full tray but the pcv's are in diffrent spots. the car runs strong and wont smoke (until the air box fills up again) if i clean out the air box.
