Hey, i am in the progess of buying a new air filter from Amsoil. I'd prosonal would like the big air filter lik a 14 inch size, hieght of the filter, 6 inch. Do you know if that would fit under teh hood of a 350 small block engine? Or is that something i would have to check out and look myself? If you wanna see the photo go to www.amsoil.com and the part number is EaAR2106. Thanks

I have a 14x4 on an edelbrock rpm intake/3/4" spacer , & a 3310 Holley. The truck also has 1 1/2" body drop(fits snug). My guess, is if you are rock stock(intake,carb,ect), a 6" tall filter will fit.....but you dont need that much height. crazyL OOPS , mine is a 69

If a 4" is tight - I don't see 2" more making it in there.
Just stick with the regular old 14x4 Amsoil - they are good filters. The best foam style available - and the only one I would recommend. They don't break down like the others.

Don’t think anyone can recommend one way or the other not knowing your setup. Just too many variables that will affect this.
I would recommend cutting a cardboard box and try different sizes to check different clearances.
