LW 14in A/C Kit Plain 5in Paper Element

The ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE LW 14in A/C Kit with Plain 5in Paper Element (SKU ALL 25916) is a lightweight air cleaner assembly engineered for small-block engine applications requiring compact intake filtration without sacrificing airflow capacity. Built around a 14-inch diameter round housing with a 5-inch paper filter element, this kit delivers efficient air cleaning in a dropped-base configuration that fits tight engine compartments while maintaining adequate carburetor clearance via the 5-1/8 inch flange design.

The assembly features a natural aluminum construction with a 1-inch spacer included, providing structural integrity and thermal stability under sustained operation. The 5-inch paper element offers effective particulate filtration across the engine's RPM range, with pleated media designed for consistent flow rates and extended service intervals. At 5.15 lbs, the lightweight design reduces underhood weight without compromising filtering surface area or filtration efficiency—a practical consideration for street and race applications where every pound counts. The dropped base positioning allows clearance for hood closure and component accessibility, while the plain aluminum finish resists corrosion in typical engine bay environments.

This air cleaner kit is suited for small-block engine builds, street rods, and performance platforms where intake diameter constraints and weight reduction are design priorities. The 14-inch round profile is a standard fitment across many carbureted small-block applications, and the 5-1/8 inch carburetor flange accommodates common four-barrel carburetors. Operators working within tight engine compartments or restoring vintage platforms will find the dropped-base configuration accommodates hood clearance without requiring air filter relocation or custom intake modifications. The plain paper element is a consumable item requiring periodic replacement during routine maintenance intervals.

ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is recognized in the engine building and hot rod community for producing cost-effective intake and fuel delivery components that balance performance with reliability. This air cleaner assembly represents a straightforward, no-frills filtration solution for builders prioritizing lightweight construction and compact packaging over premium features or custom finishes.
