I cut out the hood and have about 1/4" from the edge of the air cleaner lid to the inside of the scoop. I lowered the motors 1/2" + on both cars with new mounts the Kirkhams made. My options as I see it are to bevel the top of the aircleaner lids or have K&N make some custom aircleaner elements. I don't want to use smaller air filters because I am already at the minimum distance allowed over the air meter per Chris at Mass Flo. How much clearance will I get if I bevel the aircleaner lid? Can I get 1/4" before I cut through the thing?

Another possibility is to make a new base for the aircleaner and shift the unit to the drivers side 3/8". I notice that the aircleaner is very close to the hood on the passenger side but almost 3/4" from the drivers side. This same condition exsists on both cars? Are they made like this?

P.S. the motor you made for me runs very nicely, I would recommend everyone get one just like it. I will start the motor in car #2 this weekend.

Thanks again for all of your help. You can see a better motor picture in my Gallery.
