Low profile/drop down air filters
What is everyone using? I need to shave off about a 1/4" from my current filter and want something that looks and flows decent in the drop down style, preferably oval.

A good starting point would be for you to describe what you currently have, including engine, intake manifold and the current air cleaner / filter assembly.

I am looking for a drop down/low clearance air filter. I currently don't have one of them.

1/4"??? Maybe you could trim the base plate flange where it touches the carb.
this is assuming you have at least a 1/4" clearance between the top of carb and the lower filter plate.

The filter in it can't drop down anymore, it's against the carb as is, but A larger filter would clear, ideally, I guess I would like an oval drop base. But I can't seem to find any oval dropped bases, all are self made....which is an option. I am just trying to button things up though.

I guess another option is just trimming this filter where it is hitting the carb in the front and back, as others have done.

9" K&N filters are available in a variety of heights (e.g. 2", 2.25", 2.375", etc.) - you could go to a lower filter.

The current filter already loses 40rwhp, so I do not want to switch to a filter with even less surface area.

The turkey pan wasn't that far off in price either.
Thanks for the replies!

Here's the idea that I stole.
The example is for a tunnel wedge intake but can't be adapted to others.
Tunnel Wedge With K&N Top Filters
Basically a drop down base plate, that allows you to find a couple extra centimetres.
Same vendor also manufactured and supplied mine, an after a bit of home customisation to fit. Job was done.
I'm pretty sure many others could fab them up too, they don't look all that complicated
Good luck with it. |

Wow! Nobody mentioned my 9" low base..I'm hurt! 
There are already old threads about it.
You can get it here as a complete kit. I make the base plates (low as you can go) and Mickmate is selling the whole kits. Several guys using them.
Not trying to sell you anything. Just thought I would make you aware of another option.

I know your looking for an oval drop base air cleaner,but Jegs/Summit both have round drop base air filters,I used one with a 1.5 inch drop base on my 65 Mustang with no problems......

I ended up using the original setup including the turkey pan. Thanks for the links and suggestions and if I wasn't swayed in to keeping the turkey pan, I would have listened to some of you.
