Air filter size - please help!

[pismorat]

I just put a 454 BBC bored & stroked to a 489ci into my K10 w/1 ton drivetrain; but doing the carb adapters, my current 14x6" tall filter will hit the hood and go through by a good 2+". What can I do (cheaply) to resolve this issue? I tried my wife's '69 C10 14x4" filter and it is still above the 'line of sight' of the front fenders. Besides getting a new hood for a few hundred bucks, what can I do to keep my filter below the hood and get the proper performance?

have you thought about the AEM Induction Dryflow Synthetic Air Filters? they claim that those filters have better CFM than other brands from the same size.

Probably not the cheapest but would work great and be cheaper than a hood.
