drop base factory air cleaner for use with OAI
SOLD SOLD I bought this a few months ago to use with the edelbrock performer intake on my car but have changed directions and plan on using the original W-31 intake manifold. So I do not need this. $225 shipped. Here is the original description from when I bought it-This air cleaner base is a factory unit that I modified to be used with an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold with an OAI flapper lid. I used a typical aftermarket drop base air cleaner as well as bent a Z channel that was made round with a metal shrinker. Then welded the pieces together to create a maximum drop base, sealed edges, primed and painted with DuPont Imron black urethane. It fits perfectly with just a slight compression of the foam filter. Also included is a low clearance throttle bracket to work in conjunction. I’ve decided to go with a W455 manifold and won’t need it. I made this to be used with a Quadrajet and do not know if it would work with an AFB or Holley. It also has dual breather provisions with a flange, not a raw hole. The rounded carb mating flange was also grafted onto the base to make more factory looking. Also included is the air cleaner and cleaner lid element to maximize airflow and a shortened carburetor to air cleaner stud. It does not have the larger inlet snorkel.

I am sure it would have worked great with my current engine setup but I am going back to a stock W-31 engine. But will work great for anyone using an aftermarket high rise intake with OAI

How much drop is the pan. And what depth air filter did you use.
i have my performer intake installed on my 455.
Looking at the specs,I believe the performer is 1.75 in higher than stock.
Will the drop pan clear for electric choke ,fuel filter,and throttle cable on stock 4v Q jet.
any help is much appreciated- thanks
