Wally,
The F4B Edelbrock will allow 1 5/8 inch clearance from the stock air
cleaner to the upper firewall lip, and is 6" from the carb center.
The K&N part number, according to the markings on the filter that allows
clearance to the hood with the stock air cleaner, is A135A8, and
measures 16 1/4 x 8 1/2 x 1 1/4 thick. A thicker air cleaner might be
desirable, but will cause hood clearance issues even with a LAT hood,
and the original air cleaner. A smaller air cleaner body, such as the
triangular shape, is self defeating as the height may be larger in the
small LAT central scoop area, but the filter area / flow capabilities
are much less. Just calculate surface area.
[Newer info: Part Number is E-2859]
Sunbeam Specialties carries this filter at a reasonable, state-side, cost.
K&N's website is http://www.knfilters.com , but they only list the Alpine.
Best,
Steve
