Drop base air cleaner

Where can I buy a drop base air cleaner that looks decent? Aluminum?

I bought an Edlebrock drop based air cleaner at Advance. Can't remember what I paid now but it was pretty cheap and it allows me to use a 3" K&N element with no problems.

The drop base itself is not that noticiable. About anyone's will do. Mount a K&N filter on top and take your pick of the cover.

With an HEI distributor, you might need one that is called an "offset" that is off center from the carb to clear your HEI. Summit or Jegs has them. Depending on your current carb you might also need what is called a "drop base". Just let us know what carb and intake you have.
