14in Chrome Recessed Base Air Cleaner

The 14in Chrome Recessed Base Air Cleaner from Racing Power Co-Packaged is a purpose-built intake component designed for carbureted engines requiring a clean, professional appearance with functional depth. This 14-inch round air cleaner base features a 5-1/8-inch carburetor flange and dropped base design, delivering both aesthetic finesse and practical air filtration architecture for street, strip, and show vehicles. The chrome plating provides corrosion resistance and the distinctive mirror finish expected in quality engine bay presentations.

Constructed from steel with a recessed base profile, this air cleaner base accommodates standard round filter elements while maintaining compatibility with 5-1/8-inch carburetor flanges common to small-block and mid-sized carbureted engines. The dropped base design increases internal volume and filter surface area, supporting improved air flow and filtration efficiency compared to shallow-base alternatives. Weighing 1.74 lbs, the component integrates seamlessly into engine compartments without adding unnecessary burden to underhood weight distribution. The chrome finish resists oxidation and surface corrosion, critical for long-term appearance retention in both indoor climate-controlled environments and outdoor storage conditions.

This base is ideal for builders and restorers working on classic and custom carbureted powerplants where stock or OEM-style air intake presentation is desired. Buyers upgrading from damaged, rusted, or outdated bases will find the R2195B drops directly into applications engineered for 5-1/8-inch flange compatibility. Whether performing a full engine refresh, addressing corrosion damage, or refining underhood aesthetics on a street rod or show vehicle, Racing Power Co-Packaged delivers verified fitment and durability backed by automotive restoration industry standards.
