I finally took the old spare air filter I had lying around and adapted it to a paper filter.
I cut out the inner wall of the bottom piece. I cut off the filter element of the inner piece. (man that was some ugly filter element) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) I sandblasted the insides. I welded up the inner seam. Painted it black. I then bought a 2" x 8" (CarQuest Part # 88094) round air filter and installed it. It appears to work great and even sounds a little meaner than the old one. Between the better air flow, meaner sound and the loss of about 2 lbs of steel I figure I got about 25 more HP out of my car.

Brilliant. I have an extra air cleaner… I’m going to do this! Any tips on cutting off the old screen? Did you just use a cutoff wheel? Thanks for the tips!
