You might want to try different 14" drop base air cleaners bottoms. K&N makes them in 2 different 'drops', 7/8" and 1-1/2". There are others, too.
The lower one can be pretty low, though. When tightening the lid you can get dents from the breather tubes, and you can see the lid being sucked down when the engine is pushed. The motor can't breathe with the lid that close to the carb.
The K&N X-Stream tops may be an option for better air flow but those lids are THICK and fugly, but may be a necessity.
Are you thinking 14" round? Oval? A sacrifice in airflow and/or appearance will probably have to be made somewhere.
