[V8] Breather Hoses

[Matt Smith]

Actually, I believe the real piece is between $60 and $100. I went down this
road about 4 months ago for the same hose. What a mess!  I ended up taking
the fragments of the hose to NAPA and matched it up to one that was pretty
close and used it. So far so good! I checked it last weekend and it was
still good too.

no clue.....  I used heater hose on mine... it was so bad the car barely ran
and when i tried duct tape it to keep it together it just collapsed...

but i think the real piece is maybe $20 or so.. not too bad for a nice form
fitted hose...  if that one is dead, you probably want to do all 3.
