LW 14in A/C Kit Black 3in Paper Element

The LW 14in A/C Kit Black 3in Paper Element is a purpose-built air cleaner assembly engineered for high-performance applications where weight reduction and reliability intersect. Designed for operators and enthusiasts who demand compact intake solutions without sacrificing filtration efficiency, this aluminum-constructed kit delivers the lean profile required in tight engine bays and custom builds. The 14-inch round configuration paired with a 3-inch paper element provides the balance between airflow capacity and contaminant removal essential for sustained engine performance in demanding conditions.

Built from aluminum and finished in durable black paint, the LW 14in A/C Kit features a dropped base design with a 5-1/8-inch carburetor flange and 1-inch spacer for flexible mounting geometry. The 3-inch paper element maximizes surface area for extended service intervals while maintaining low restriction—critical in fuel-injected and carbureted systems where intake vacuum stability directly impacts tuning precision. The lightweight construction reduces unsprung mass, contributing to improved throttle response and thermal management by minimizing heat absorption compared to heavier steel alternatives. Total weight of 4.74 lbs underscores the efficiency-first engineering philosophy underlying this kit's design.

This assembly benefits builders of street rods, circle track engines, and custom carbureted platforms where packaging constraints and visual appeal matter equally. The aluminum construction resists corrosion in high-vibration environments, and the standardized 5-1/8-inch flange accommodates most traditional and modern carburetor configurations. Installation is straightforward—the included 1-inch spacer and dropped base allow tuners to optimize intake tract height for hood clearance and air-ram effectiveness. Verify carburetor flange compatibility and available underhood space before purchase to ensure seamless integration into your build.
