So is the thinking even with a Sanden Compressor that sometimes the airfilter has to be notched?

Perhaps. There's more than an inch cut out of the neck on this air cleaner so it might fit in a car with a higher hood.


Jim that's why they cut the neck to make a 383 baseplate more like a 440 baseplate.

This is cut far more than the difference between stock 383 and 440 base plates. I borrowed a 440 base plate many years ago to see if it would work with the 440 in my old Dart. With no gaskets on a core engine the lid hit the hood so I gave up looking for the rarer and more expensive 440 single four barrel air cleaner.
