Oval Air Cleaner Assembly

[John Poling]

A quick question to all,

I am in process of replacing my air filter element on my oval Cobra logo air cleaner assembly and have a question. I know that there was a thread a while back about replacement elements for these but am unable to find it.

What is the OEM (Motorcraft) part number? Also, I have found 3 K&N filter numbers that are approximately the same size and would like to know if anyone had found/used these on their application. The K&N numbers are E-1960 (1.8" tall), E-1963 (3" tall) and E-1966 (6"tall) I do have the under hood room for a 3" filter and am leaning the way of the E-1963 but am requesting input first for the Motorcraft number first so I can get a baseline. I realize that Tony Branda sells these, but I am interested only in the Motorcraft number at this time.

Thank you.

John:

I use the 3" element on my motor. I had to modify hood scoop to accomidate it thought. Interestingly enough when I was in the preliminary stages of figuring out which one would cover my cfm requirements the 3" was approx 1200 cfm. I would be asking those questions to see which one gives you enough airflow. But I called back to see what the smaller filter did and the SOB tells me that the filter I have doesn't flow 1200 cfm WTF? I asked your K & N guy twice to check is calculation because I was modifying the hood to accomidate the filter... wish I had know the guy could not add or subtract. I have the original element at home I'll check and see if the # is still on it. to find the motorcraft #.
