Thank you, any idea of the drop you have, I have a drop base round one at present and just like that triangular look. Mine has an inch and a half drop on a 3" filter, just clears he hood.
Appreciate your suggestion.

Just looked at Edelbrock couldnt find a drop base, summit has them all listed but nothing there except for a Trans Dapt , doesnt quite have enough drop though.

Here is a triangle on a 350 crate, changed the Air Gap intake for a lower height RPM Intake

I also have used a lower height KN filter in the stock air cleaner, I recall it was a FIAT replacement
