Like the idea of getting a small amount milled from the carb pad! If the motor mounts are really worth .5" and grinding another .25", then all I need is .025"....that's practically NOTHING, and might be possible with the aircleaner/carb gaskets.

Keep in mind that the .775" is just what I need to be able to mount the Air Gap manifold with the current Edelbrock carb and X-Stream filter, but not using the raised/radiused base that came with the X-Stream, using a different flat/not radiused base. I might be able to get that K&N air cleaner base in with all these hints....

Thanks, and keep 'em coming, guys!

[Edit--getting closer! Current filter is 2.75" tall, and I found a 9" diameter K&N filter in a 2" height...not listed on the X-Stream page, but when I did a search by dimension I found this:

So, things are looking up!]

Cheers from Dugly
