Hood clearance & MP air filter element ?'s

famous bob said
you can find a drop base offset air cleaner base only, for cheap on ebay. I used one to center the aircleaner, and lower it to clear my 6 pack scoop w/ a 14x3 filter on it. I think I could probably run the thicker air filter lid, but have read that they showed messed up air flow on the dyno.

You can find a lot of cheap 14" drop base air cleaners on eBay. The Mopar Performance air cleaner is 12 3/4", although the 13" bases do work with it. If you find a cheap, drop base 13" air cleaner base by all means post a link, a lot of people will be really happy.

And yes, you can modify a 14" drop base if you want to get into welding the recessed section into a 13" base. But I figured my time was better spent just buying the ford air cleaner and swapping the bases. Fortunately my g/f has a '71 F100 with a 390, so that Ford Racing air cleaner lid looks great on her truck. ;)

I also found this last night, its a K&N 13"x 2.3" filter that should work with the MP cover. Actually a couple bucks cheaper than the Green filter above
