I just went to the E-1963(3"), it fit just fine and boy did it make a difference. With the way my engine sets in my chassis and with the 351W, Performer intake/carb and Duraspark distributor, I have about 1/2" clearance between my hood and the top of the oval air cleaner. I would like to say I designed it that way, but I didn't as I bought my car with the drivetrain already in place. Depending on your intake setup and which distributor you're using, you could fabricate/modify your existing pan base to drop it down like a cap over the carb. My motto is where there's a will, there's usually a way. Hope it helps.

John
