I really like KN filters and have used them often. I've never tried the top filter tho. And that stubstack looks wicked cool!! That's another must have for me x 2.

G, I thought you had forgot about the rough draft I had sent you a couple years ago.... Since then I have spent plenty of hours on the Drafting table and have made about a half dozen revision's on it....
I have talked to some of the guys in the other BBF forum about it...and they like the new concept....But I cant weld one up in time for the Owensboro meet by april....Even tho I do have an older mock up... But the latest revisions, have alot more Radius's in it, and a Bud you have heard me talk about with the SuperFlo 900 has agreed to put it thru some actual Carb to intake and port tests..and I'am sure I'll come back home with some suggestions..and go thru some more revisions and re-test.... Again and again..LOL
Sorry about the Temperary

I've run K&N filters, but if you just get the cheaper tall element and only drive it occasionally don't worry about it.

Will work with all K&N Custom Chrome Racing Air Cleaners, including Tall Velocity Stack Air Cleaners."

On many Holley carbs, there's a rectangular metal "horn" that sticks up around the primary bores that the choke butteryfly is mounted to. That rectangular metal part must be milled off to enable the K&N substack to fit the top of these carbs. Go on Holley's website and look at a std Holley 4bbl carb (like a list #1850 or 3310) and then look at an "HP" series 4 bbl carb, you'll see that is has no "horn" like the std Holley's do. The K&N substack will fit an "HP" series carb with no other mods.

In effect a bigger one really only bought you time between filter cleanings.
PBear the P/N to what you need is this : K&N P/N 85-0200 It fits the one you got and a bunch of others to boot!
