Hi - I'm new here.

I'm nearing the completion of an ERA kit. It has a 434 cid 351 w/ Edelbrock Victor Jr. Manifold and a Barry Grant 750. (All built, broken in and dynoed by Kuntz & Co.) The car has a normal size 427 SC scoop molded into the 'glass hood.

Anyway I hope I'm only a couple of days to a week away from firing it up for the first time. My latest problem.... er challenge is to find an air cleaner that will fit.

I've mocked up an oval assy out of cardboard (8.5 wide x 11 long x 2.5 high), and the top hits the inside of the hood scoop on the sides. This tells me my total clearance between the air filter mounting surface on the carb and the hood is only about 2.5 in. Anyone have any ideas for a shorter air cleaner??

I'd like to minimize air cleaner restriction if possible, so it doesn't kill top end too much.

Thanks, Bob Schaefer
