Thanks Brian.
To add -it is important in understanding some off the process's for the conversion that the aluminum intake was installed on the engine as (oil pressure line installed at SA) at the Ford engine plant and then installed on the SJ assemblyline like any other Mustang. SA got Ford to do a lot for cost saving reasons. About the only thing that SA had to install engine related was the SW oil pressure line (and things related to that installation)regardless of if GT350 or GT500.

Mostly consistent. Inconsistency in this case would be more likely attributed to PO handling of metal line more so then a Ford difference IMO.

It is not the 428 line. It was the same vacuum tube used on the 67 289 cast iron intake with power booster.

Yes repo pieces verses originals - what could go wrong. Agree that the visual difference in one in pictures are most likely from a heavy hand at some point - especially #3 ::) was using that more to show the attachment to the intake fitting

I feel your frustration. I can only tell what is correct but sorry in this case can't tell you what company is going to be knowledgeable enough to sell you the correct piece. As the pictures shows it is more a simple "L" shape more so then anything else.
