The ones I put on are no more restrictive than the SD ACs.IMO the TA screens could be the answer.Remember this was a RACE intake!I have been running one on my 421 SD tempest for 22 years now with custom made velocity stacks with just screens on them!Only good for keeping rocks and kids out of the engine.Where there is a will there is a way as I have found.I can get 1/2 inch more room by milling the top.Also these intakes did not use the 625 cars with the factory SD air cleaners.They ran a pair of 750 NASCAR AFBs with NO ACs.I have my intakes and it makes no diff to me if I go forward with the project!

Like to see a pic of those if you can find them, or the ones John said he was going to make.

Lmao, those lil rascals get into everything. I liked the stacks, I thought they looked great.

Plenty of will here. I know you wanted to use the SD AC's, as mentioned it is still possible.

Could you just put a filter only - right on the airhorn , with no base.
Maybe a strategic notch or recess in a place or two if needed in the filter.
Then an AC lid on top of it.

just tossing another coin in the wishing well
