It's kind of funny because everyone including myself says keep the one you have or go with the standard cowl. You would think they're would be a market for something in between....say 3"?

Max-

Concerning your shorted air cleaner. If you use a LT-1 style base from the early 70's, you will be able to use a full 3" air filter. I had one on my big block with a Strip Dominator intake, which is a tall inatke, and had no issues. It was tight, but it did clear.

Max -
If you really want to get creative, take your SS hood (or get a fiberglass replica) and have the center raised up to 2". It would definately be one of a kind. Try a couple pictures on the computer first. Just another idea.
