A full flow 261 should have 1/2" NPT (national pipe) threads into the block. The hole toward the front of the engine is the out to filter and the other hole is the return. There should also be a tee block on the return to mount the sending unit.

I used aftermarket jiffy hose lines for mine, the kind for mounting remote spinon race car filters. They work fine. I had to mount my filter on the front of the intake because it hit the steering box when mounted on the back. I think I still have my old lines if you want them for a pattern.
