It's the same NAPA hose I used for my '69 but it was a bit long so I cut a chunk out of the middle and made a barbed pipe to join them (with more Gates thermo-couplers). The upper hose part number is 8301 and the lower hose's number is 9038.
The 90-degree elbow on the intake is a cast aluminum piece from Street and Performance. They also modified the MAF with a billet ring that holds to the elbow with three set screws. This way I only needed a rubber coupling hose on one side. I think they will even make with the set-screw deal on both sides if you ask. The rest is made from 4-inch exhaust pipe (a straight piece and a 45).
