Vacuum hose problems

Can some steer me in the right direction. I rebuilding a 1992 F-150 and a 1989 F-150.

On the motor in the back there are vacuum hoses that are real thin... They are also to *#&$)@ brittle. When I replace them do they have to be the same brittle lins that are on it know? or can I find very small diametor hose instead?

Thanks

Ken

Are you rebuilding the motor to stock specs with all the smog equipment? If not you can eliminate most of the vacuum lines.

Yes, I replacing the Motor from my 1991 to the 1989...... Will moving the engine I bumped a couple of the little hard Vacuum lines and they broke. I tried taking them of the motor that was bad and they broke also...

Can't find were to get them and I was thinking (Hoping) i can replace them with the rubber hose so I don't have this problem.

Thanks
