Vacuum lines
 
I have an 85 f250 I was wondering what size and how long all the vacuum lines are I plan to replace them with all when I do an engine swap or possibly before hand if it's not too difficult

Best bet is to look at the originals for diameter. Then take a rough estimate of length needed for each size diameter. Buy on a roll plus some extra and cut to size while rebuilding

Hm I'll see if they sell the silicone lines by the roll and I suppose I'll do it that way thank you for your help

I wouldn't bother with the silicone, my 85 is still running all original lines. Id go with a name brand like gates or continental and call it a day. Online is normally cheaper by the roll
