Hi have you checked out the air cleaners on C.I. http://classicinlines.com/products.asp?cat=50. On the stock air cleaners some of the lowest are from the Mavericks and Fox body Mustangs. Good luck

8) since you will be using the holley carb, you can use any V8 air cleaner that fits the 5 1/4"(iirc) filter base. one option is the corvette drop over air cleaner housing. it was designed to allow big block engines under the stock corvette hood.
