Default Air Filter Clearance Problems

Well the car is finished (got licensed last week) except for we are still plagued with the hood not being able to close with the air cleaners from Roush. We have trimmed out the hole a bit bigger under the hood scoop but still not enough clearance(about 1 inch short). We thought we had a solution in a flat air filter made for the old weber setups with elastic to go around the trumpets and wire mesh over the filter element but apparently they are not made in the 4 inch size ( the size of the Roush Trumpets) The small block 8 stack has smaller trumpets so they aren't interchangeable. Has anyone got any other ideas for a flat/ultra low profile air cleaner for a 4 inch trumpet? I am anxious to get out on the road but I don't want to until we have a solution for this. ( something about leaves, dust and small children being sucked in to the fuel injection!)
Thanks
