    What Air Cleaner Are You Guys Running on Your V8's? I just put a V8 with an Edelbrock F4B in and it Doesn't Look Like There is Much Room. I was Looking at Milodon 85800 14 Inch Diameter 2.563 Net Height.

    It's some old Weiand dual plane I bought in the 80's...Looking at the picture, that might not be the drop base..but I'm running a 1" drop base now.

    I am using a factory 1971 air cleaner. I had to add a spacer under the carb to clear the distributor. Otherwise no problems.

    I am doing something a little bit different, because I added a nitrous plate which raised my carb so high that my air filter would no longer clear the hood. I had to go with a low profile "ricer" cool air induction setup.

    Yes, Spector, with a K&N filter. Not sure if I will add a box around the filter, since it is right at the cuts in the radiator support where all the fresh air will come in while I am moving.
