14in x 3in- 7/8in Drop Air Cleaner Assembly

The 14in x 3in 7/8in Drop Air Cleaner Assembly from K&N Engineering is a premium custom intake component engineered for enthusiasts and mechanics seeking improved airflow and a classic aesthetic on their carbureted builds. This dropped-base design lowers the assembly's profile relative to the carburetor mounting point, making it ideal for engine bays with limited vertical clearance or when achieving a specific vintage hot rod look. Whether you're restoring a muscle car, building a street rod, or upgrading a classic truck, this air cleaner delivers both functional benefits and show-quality appearance.

Built from steel with a polished chrome finish, the 14in x 3in 7/8in Drop Air Cleaner Assembly features K&N's signature branding and accepts a 5-1/8 inch carburetor flange, making it compatible with most four-barrel carburetors and popular fuel-injection throttle bodies. The dropped base design reduces the distance from the engine to the lid, minimizing intake manifold obstruction while maintaining excellent air intake velocity and filtration efficiency. K&N's reputation for quality construction means this assembly is precision-engineered to seal properly, preventing unfiltered air bypass and ensuring your engine receives consistently clean, measured intake charge for reliable performance and longevity.

Mechanics and custom builders favor this assembly when working on carbureted engines where tight hood clearance is a constraint or when a lower visual profile enhances overall engine bay design. Installation requires only basic hand tools and careful alignment with your carburetor mounting surface; the 5-1/8 inch flange specification ensures compatibility with standard four-barrel flanges and most performance throttle bodies. At 4.75 lbs, it adds minimal weight while significantly improving intake aesthetics and air delivery, making it an essential upgrade for anyone serious about both form and function.
