Default Least expensive way to get Ram Aair?

I have a 400 hood that I would like to make functional for my carb. At first I was thinking about going the Ram Air IV direction, but it's just way too expensive for my budget.

Then I saw a video of a 1968 Ram Air II Firebird on YouTube. The video didn't show the underside of the 400 hood, but the air cleaner was crazy simply with just an outer shell around it with a seal around the top. It looked super basic, which is great.

Seems like I can find kits to make a RA IV setup all day long, but who is making a RA II reproduction setup/kit that I can buy for my hood and carb?

I'll be running a Holley and I don't mind doing whatever modifications are necessary to get everything to fit right to the top of the carb.

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to my 461 not sucking all the hot air from inside the botton of the metal hood that the headers are pumping into the engine bay (haven't wrapped them yet)!

EDIT: Looks like Year One might be the only place: https://www.yearone.com/Product/1967...67#prettyPhoto

Is that everything though? It's like $400-$500 less than the RA IV setups which is great, but is it missing anything?

I think I might need these too, yeah?
