Any suggestions on fixing the vacuum lines that run to the FPR, rear of intake, every damn line broke on me today or is the whole assembly still available from ford, they are the lines that run from the pass side strut tower

the lines from the strut tower are fine, its the section of them that runs from the fitting on over to the intake

Do you mean the hard plastic vacuum lines? Take a broken peice down to the local auto parts store and find the size of vacuum tube that fits snugly over the plastic line. Buy some, and cut pieces about 2" long and use them to connect the two broken plastic pieces.

Been there and done that, they are just so brittle that they arent worth patching together anymore, guess the florida heat took it's toll on em, wanting to get it all back together clean and neat, just painted under the hood and have spent all day putting all new wire loom on the wires and making things as neat as possible

Autozone sells the hard plastic vacuum lines your looking for. Not sure how much they are but I know they have them.

I know Pep Boys has the hard lines in different colors. You buy the line and the ends are separate, either straight boots or angled. Just cut the line to length and apply the correct end.

Yeah, like those guys ^^^ there said. Get some of the hard plastic line from the auto parts store, bring an old piece to match up the size. I used a heat gun on low and was able to put factory bends in the new hard plastic line. You wouldnt even know the difference from original.
