Chris ... you didn`t say whether your lack of hood clearance is in the front , back or passenger side . I have ERA 757 and I had ERA cut the inside hood brace in the back to clear an oval air cleaner in case I wanted to run dual quads . Didn`t do that as I`m running a Pro Systems 950 , dual plane intake and an oval air cleaner ... 14" x 3" K&N filter . Anything smaller will choke the engine down above 3500 rpm .To get hood clearance and run the 1/4" carb base insulator , I got a drop base filter housing from Robert Pond . Fits like a glove and I have about 1/8" hood clearance . Don`t have a part number , but you should be able to find one at Summit or Jegs . However , I also did the ERA motor mount mod to both mounts ( not just driver side ) to keep the engine from torqueing over too much during the track weekends . Air cleaner will touch the hood under those conditions otherwise .
