Default Help finding discontinued hoses

Went to take apart my intake to install the LT4 Hot Cam and found out that i need 3 throttle body hoses. Two are the Throttle body coolant hoses and one is the Emission hose. Contacted everyone on the forum
vendor list and GMParts Direct, these hoses just can not be found.
Has anyone on the forum got any other places i can try? I would kind of like to keep the outside of the motor original looking and at 46Thou did
not think these hoses would be shot. Any help would be appreciated.

Its not the mileage, its the 16 years old. Dunno really about the LTx's and the L98 TB hoses are unavailable as well. There are some hoses that are similar, you will hafta go to NAPA or a higher quality auto parts to look at their hose book for the closest match.

Good luck!

On our L98 went bypass for the trottlebody coolant hoses and if you have a good auto supply house you should find a really close match for the hoses just take the old ones with you. Some might be a little longer but you can cut them off.

good Luck wro87
