6. Probably PCV fresh air connection
7. Ok.
8. Ok.
9. Probably PCV fresh air connection. If you rotate the tube, it'll probably line up with the fitting in #6.

Looks like you have a broken fitting on your intake manifold above the center cylinder in the rear bank.



Thanks, this is a big help.

What fitting did you use for the relocated oil fill?

I found this photo of the donor car before the engine came out.

Looks like #9 goes to #6 and the small black hose goes to the coolant fill reservoir. The gadget may be to the fuel tank vent. What do you think Will?

Oh, by the way, that broken fitting is really just a mount for the top engine fascia. It doesn't go anywhere.

Looks kinda like the origional position of the reservoir and the fuel line vent pipe i found in the pile of parts seems to fit.

The origional from the front bank has a short extention neck that I epoxied onto the rear bank, then used the stock cap. I plugged the old filler with a Dorman replacement cap.

The small hose may have gone under the intake neck, but otherwise looks reasonable.

ETA: NVM, I hadn't seen your photo of the donor car.

Did you try spinning the intake boot?

Yes, I spun the boot and things lined up nicely.
Thanks

Still looking for where the hose fitting in photo #3 should go. I remember hearing that there may not be a pcv valve on this engine.
