I have settled on a black " COBRA" cast aluminum oval dual four air cleaner that I had in the shed for twenty-two years. It has a stamped sheet metal base plate that has two rings on the base to mount to the carbs. I can not find any current adds for oval dual four air cleaners where they mention anything other than the cast aluminum base plates.
Anyway, I had seen a base plate that was made for a members friends' 66 427 Fairlane with an oval dual four air cleaner. It was made from 0.200 "thick flat aluminum, had no rings underneath. It had four 1" or so holes to fit over the float adjusters, to get everything as low as possible. It had extra material outside where the element would sit for clueing a ring of foam to make a seal off under the hood. So, I'm now going to try to create a dual four base plate like that.
I bought a dandy oval air cleaner element. It is a "BLUE THUNDER" 4" tall element. The air cleaner and base first then I will try to get another hood made.
