FAO Monkfish- diagnosis needed

[dreamtoy]

007, S WO2TEC and myself are puzzled by this odd looking pipe and bolt..
Looking from the front, you can see a hose that got cut off
with a bolt screwed into it.



the black hose goes somewhere behind the alternator



Have you (or anyone else) got any idea as to what and why has been done there??

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Do you have a standard airbox?
Often breathers don't have a fitting on an aftermarket intake kit, so they get blanked off instead.

My first thought was crank-case breather, but they usually come from the heads, rather than low down.

Didn't Wortec put the engine mods together on this one?

May need to pop my head under the V8 this weekend when i have some free day light to myself. Did try to feel but just heads off under the alternator

right, just had a look under the car. That black hose goes under the middle of cranshaft pulley. Any suggestions?

Did these engines have an oil seperator on them?
considering it goes to the sump, it could be the drain for a missing oil seperator

Could it be a lenghth of pipe connected to the lube point in the pics below
