I have the cast aluminum one on mine. If you look close in the first picture, you can see where I ground down the back of the air cleaner to fit under the hood. It's on top of a BG 850 with a 3/8" spacer and an aluminum Holley heat shield. I have the Blue Thunder intake which is supposed to be about the lowest intake.
Sorry, I don't have a part #. It was on the car when I bought it.

on top of the BG with spacers very tight
on top of my Holley HP 1000 CFM no spacers fit easy

Hi Maxum 101.
I too have a ford 460 crate(2007) and the msd distributor sticks up too high to allow the cobra air cleaner. Just something else to be aware of. I went with a oval billet that is not as long. Check my gallery if you want to.

Brent,
If you have the MSD 8580 distributor, you might take a look at the MSD 8577. It is 5/8" smaller in diameter - don't know if it is less tall or not...
It solved my hood scoop clearance problem.
Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom
Yes I have the 8580 and the diameter isn't the problem for me although it would help too.It stands too tall for long air cleaner to fit mostly due to using a lowered torker2 intake for hood clearance.
Thanks
Brent

I have the 460 with the victor single plane intake and 850 BG carb. The breather has a drop base of about 1/2".

was it made for you or can you buy it like that? |

I know this thread is a few years old but I am curious as to where you got the air cleaner with the drop base?

James,
Google is your friend!
Just to get you started, here's one result: JEGS Performance Chrome Air Cleaners - Free Shipping on All Orders @ JEGS
There are several "depths" for drop bases for Holley carbs - I use the max for one of my cars.
The hazard in this effort is to check the CFM airflow for whatever filter you end up with - you can strangle a big-block if the filter can't pass enough air. I use a 2-1/2 x 14" diameter filter from K&N that seems marginal, but it fits...
Tom

My 460 has a Torker II manifold, which has a low profile. I use a 14" drop base air cleaner bottom with a K&N filter/top. No clearance issues.
