When I was using the K&N 1503 kit with M1-4bbl intake and hood
liner, the highest K&N filter that I could use was 2.25". This is
because the engine slopes upward the closer that you get to
the front grill. Probably can add 1/8" without the liner and maybe
another 1/8" if stock intake manifold.
With the ram air box from Air Inlet Systems, their base lid bent
so that the front of the box is almost on the a/c nut, a flat, not
domed top lid and liner, I can use a 14 x 2.83" K&N air filter.
On both setups, there was a deep gouge in the liner made from
the nut on the S-bolt. There is enough clearance with the M1-4bbl
and stock air hat without making any markings on the liner.
