It's just your standard 5 1/4" diameter, like most carburetors, but unless
you go low-profile, you have to get a recessed bottom for the housing (not
unusual) because the engine + intake sit relatively high under the hood. I
fit a 3" x 14" K&N in a generic chrome housing with recessed bottom (about
$20 at the local parts shop) on my 95 V8. It looks much better; be careful
with the center stud, though. I had to get a longer stud due to the
increased height of filter + housing, and I didn't trim it enough. Now I
have a teeny little dimple in the middle of my hood! :( Not noticable to
most people, but I can see it! So make sure you close the hood _lightly_ if
you put the tall air cleaner on!
