Don't know if this will help but, I have a Midstates and as you know it is very similar to a Shell Valley. I have a stroked windsor and a Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake topped with a Holley 750 double pumper. The Midstates hood has a slightly smaller scoop but the air cleaner fits nicely into the scoop, and yes it does look kind of cool when you look into the scoop and see a K&N air cleaner. There is also room for the air cleaner as the engine torque moves the engine slightly. hope this helps, Flatliner
