It's very tall, and since you should always run a carb spacer (or thick gasket) you'll need to find a drop base assembly. Summit has a 1 3/4" drop base K&N style for around $50. I had one for this 440 build before I went w/ the 6-pack. I even added a 440 pie tin decal to it.
Why should you ALWAYS run a carb spacer ?
John you need to run a drop base air cleaner , the RPM is tall , you don't want to run a shorter filter element unless you absolutely have to .

why should you? I guess if you want your carb sitting on a very hot intake you don't have to. You should always insulate your carb. Spacer might be the wrong word. A simple paper gasket isn't enough.

Chances are you will need a drop base. K&N has a 2 1/2" drop base you can buy as a stand alone and add your own top, thats what I used on mine.
just remember the more drop the closer your carb throat is going to be to the lid...meaning 2.5" drop w/ a 3" element your carb is going to be awfully close to the lid.

i have performer rpm on both of my cars, they both use a drop base air cleaner. 65 coronet w/440 has a 3" filter, 71 dart w/400 has a 2" filter. i know these are not your model car but it might help. where in ne pa. are you?
65rbdodge, I live in the Sullivan County area. Where do you live at yourself? I'm surprised to see somebody from that region, well I guess I shouldn't, it's not such a small world anymore.
Thanks for the help fellows. I decided to go with a Mr Gasket drop base air cleaner with a 2in filter. Here is a link to the item:
Mr. Gasket Filter
Hopefully that's the ticket.
Thanks again,
Adam
