Mine does the same thing, I'm about 2K miles into a rebuilt engine. I have a small hot rod style breather filter and it puffs just like you are describing.
I WAS getting blow by before the rebuild....the oil cap blowing off was the dead give away then, not sure what is causing the smoke from the breather, but mine is consistent....
Runs back to the aircleaner. You can put a little filter on that.
Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

Could a bad pvc cause this?
Half inch.now if someone just knows the size of that tube coming out of the valve cover i can order a nice filter today at work
Maybe we could get a video to see what kinds of pressures and smoke we are talking about. Some blow-by and pressure is normal.
It will cost close to 2000 to rebuild it correctly doing it yourself as I just did mine. You can do a used v8 for that with the cost of the adapters. A rebuilt 2f cost more than that and with a used one you might be in the same boat. I wanted to keep matching numbers. Choose your poison.I was afraid of that. Now...the debate of rebuild, find a new 2F or V8 swap.
I was quoted $2100 for a complete rebuild by a very reputable shop in Portland, OR. on the 2F. With a used V8, you may run into the same problems, it may need a rebuild as well, plus adapters, motor mounts and you might want to change out the tranny as your rpm's will be very high at low hwy speeds. Or you can add a ranger overdrive for a mere $1500 just for the parts...Depends on what you want to do and how much $$ you want to spend.It will cost close to 2000 to rebuild it correctly doing it yourself as I just did mine.
