why don't you use a normal PCV and then just regulate the vacuum yourself with something like this in the valve cover or floor of the intake?

Expensive....but other than a catch can- may go a long way in dealing with oil in the plenum on a 383.

If I can get another five interested in a purchase- it would be a substantial savings.
How many buyers do you currently have?

Dredging this thread up again. With the Wagner PCV installed, SS wool in the PCV valve cover baffle and an air oil separator, Canton windage tray- the symptoms have been corrected. Will be doing a leakdown test and have a look at the bores with a camera.
Question- in a relatively fresh engine, what have you found that puts oil in the plenum? poor ring seal? poor windage control? glazed cyl walls. I would have to say initially the EFI tune was way off- the only thing I could do for awhile was change oil frequently until I got it sorted.
- engine never did 'use oil', didn't smoke either.
