Default Cheapo air filter to connect to MAF

I'm about ready to install my 6L engine and need to come up with an air intake of some sort. I'm using a 6L MAF which is 3.870" on the filter side and 3.660" on the engine side. The throttle body is 3.965". Any suggestions on a filter that will fit onto my MAF? I'm looking for a cheapo paper filter that I can get at the local parts store. This is only temporary until I can get a decent cold air intake system built. Also suggestions for an elbow to go from the TB to the MAF are welcome. I might just pick up a home depot 4" rubber elbow and wrap the MAF in duct tape or something to build it up, lol. Rember, this is only temporary.

I got my elbow to hook the maf to the tb at this site and used a $29 reusable filter from summit.

Looking for something I can get locally, any ideas?

Yup, ended up getting a ricer air filter off ebay for like $25 shipped. Looks like its actually halfway decent quality too. I got the stocker resonator that goes between the MAF and throttle body from a junkyard for next to nothing also.
