I machined 3/4" off the base section and I can take 1/4" from inside the upper section. That would mean I need an element about 3/4" shorter.
I am trying to get it back on the road before I leave for Arizona. We'll see.

Larry, if your new dual quads don't get it maybe somthing like this will, milage not good, won't pass the test and vision may be impared. but other than that it look cool....jh
At least that way I don't have to worry about hood clearances.

Installed the new master cylinder today and made new brake lines. It looks better than before, also now have the backing plate behind the booster chromed instead of painted black so maybe that helps. Here are some pics of the master cylinder before and after.

Just installed my new "347" emblems in place of the "302's" that I had before. Never did like them. Now if anyone needs some perfect condition 302 emblems, they are for sale. $10 a piece.
I tackled my engine bay this winter to give it more "pop". Wasn't satisfied with it at Hot August Nights and other shows. Got a lot done and I think I am happy with the results. Sure wish I could have afforded the Jim Inglese setup but spending $4000 more than I did, just wouldn't work.
Here are the finished pictures. Larry

Did you get the hood clearance issues solved?
It seems to me that you need to get some yellow Accel spark plug wires to complete things.

Pat, I am still looking for a thinner air cleaner element. I haven't given up and like the look of this cleaner so will figure something out.
As far as the yellow wires, it is funny because my brother and I talked about that during the superbowl, so guess I will need to make that change. Larry

Maybe two small round ones would fit.

I don't know how that air cleaner sandwiches together but I'm wondering if the filter element comes in a different thickness with the same oval size?
Of course that would decrease the amount of air flow but unless you know that it's getting just what it needs now, it may be OK to decrease it a little.

Here is another air cleaner idea.

It looks to me that the one you have has a lot of crown to it. The Billet Specialties ball milled version looks pretty flat.

Kenny, I haven't found anything that is thinner and the same size periphery. I checked with K&N and other manufacturers but no luck so far.
I am sure there are other type of air cleaners that will work, but I love the one I have and if necessary I will bolt a plate down to the top of the air filter and when showing the car just set the upper section on the top. Problem is I will sure as heck close the hood and mess up the air cleaner or dent the hood.
I did find a 427 dual four filter that was thinner like I want but could not get it to fit inside the footprint of the air cleaner interior. I will figure something out. I have been searching the internet to see if a company would make what I want, but without luck so far. You would think there would be someone that makes these to fit????? Larry

Larry, possible to cut a section out of the back of the one for the 427, re-seal the cut, then reshape it a bit?

Larry, I have a customer of mine that owns a shop over here and he can make anything out of billet, or steel or about any metal. I have one of his custom air cleaners in my shop display case. Unfortunately it has a C*#€y cut in it. I'll try and snap a picture of it in the am. His shop is D&E customs in Sequim. I'll touch base with him and see what cost might be on something like that.
