I blocked that off on my old engine and just ran a filter on the rocker cover.
Never used a drop of oil
I suspect the best solution is to run them both into a catch tank.

Yep block breather, as doofus says run both to a catch tank.
If dry sumping you need to block the block breather off.

Cheers... been looking at your Duratec thread Flak - there's quite a few differences between my engine and yours (sump shape, EGR port location,
PS pump location, etc.)
Mine came from an 06 ST150 - what car was yours in?

Yeah st150 and mondeo engines are slightly different.
If you have the st150 engine you should also have the solid flywheel which will take a 220mm zetec/cvh clutch

What's the benefit of changing out the original clutch for the Zetec / CVH one?

Splines are different IIRC
The OE one will be a 20mmx17 spline i should think as this is what most of the current ford boxes are.
The T9 is a 1" x 23 spline input shaft so needs the appropriate friction plate.
If the pressure plate is good then you only need to change the friction plate.
