I just checked with my local NAPA parts guy for you.

The NAPA part number is 5931 for all 4 hoses.  Length is 13 5/8 inches.

He said the NAPA hoses are also probably made in China but they don't get come-backs with them.  Maybe a better grade?

Good luck, that's an awesome car.  Post some pics if you can.
