pcv valve location

ive been going over and checking more things in my engine, and was wondering if someone could tell me where the pcv valve is located? Its not on the valve covers like i thought, any other places it could be?

On a 5.0, it's in the back of the intake manifold. Kinda tricky to get to. :D

Be aware that there is a wire mesh filter directly underneath the PCV valve, which can also restrict circulation due to carbon and oil deposits.
You may be able to soak it in a solvent to clean it out or opt for a new one.

is there anything else they could be connected to that would serve the same purpose or do they have to be connected to the pcv?

Are you talking about the pvc valve itself, does it have a big hose connector and two smaller ones,If so they usualy get plugged not used.Everything else gets hooked to the t's on the upper manifold.

yea its got the larger hose connected to it and the two smaller connections have been completely removed. the pcv itself just kind of hangs down behind the upper manifold - is it supposed to be placed somewhere else?
