Greg, I did something similar with a motorcycle air filter, a clamp-on K&N just happened to be the right size for the pipe nipple that threaded into the intake port.
Amazing how much quieter they run with a filter, isn't it?

This one was close on size too. The manifold had a 4 3/8 dia recess for the filter and the air cleaner bore was 4 1/2. Made an aluminum spool to adapt and raise it an inch to clear. Covering the open filter really made a difference, guess you could hear the reed valves opening and closing before.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

The old filter was in rough shape, ran across this one off a 70's Chevy pickup. Tried to sand blast it, the top ended up full of holes, had to bondo it before painting.
like it souped up V- twin compressor W/ vintage Chevy air cleaner ..looks like a 283Ci or 307 Ci lots of memories there
