Motorcraft 2 barrels have the same mounting size as Holley four barrels for the air cleaner base. Improved air cleaner housing won't net you any increase in usable horsepower over the stock unit. If you are doing it for looks, finer. If you are doing it for HP, you're wasting your money.

I actually was trying to do it for the hp. But this motocraft wasnt stock. Most likely, since my engine is hi-po, it was an autolite 4100 that was stock. Which means i actually lost hp with that downgrade...but even with that, will it REALLY not give me any hp?

Most, if not all air cleaners that are sold now (performance wise) require a 5 1/8" neck fitting...my motocrafts neck is SLIGHTLY bigger, maybe by a quarter inch... Maybe i could buy a 5 1/8" anyway and mod it so that it will fit...does that sound like a stupid idea...?
FEEDBACK PLEASE! thanks guys
