Is it possible to replace this hose without taking off the manifold? I can sort of see it , might be able to do it by feel.

I hope i didn't toast the engine.. not sure when teh hose blew, all i know is when i stopped, steam came out. of the hood.. Didn't smell or see anything during the drive, only drove for about 10 minutes, but rather hard.

I bet it's possible. On my '87 240, I split the heater hose that's closer to the intake manifold. I was able to remove it, cut out a section and replace it with a piece of hard pipe, and reinstall w/o removing anything else.
