Just to let ChadCurrent know, I've also converted my '61 FE 352 to PCV using the draft tube. I did it about 10 years ago, and haven't experienced any negative things, as far as I can tell. Engine runs very good. I think I adjusted the carb or something after I did it.

My only goal was to reduce the amount of exhaust smell in the car, and my solution worked real good for that. I also wanted to do it on my '54 Y-Block, but, as I recall, the draft tube was of significantly larger size, and I wasn't sure if I could/should transition it down to a valve size tube/hose, so I just left it as it was. As I recall, I did remove some of the existing draft tube on my 352FE to make the conversion, but I can't remember how much or why. Unfortunately, posting pics on Fordbarn is hard for me to do with my setup.
