Hey Vince, regarding the air cleaner, I would stay away from the "dogbone". I had one. Looks cool, but is somewhat restrictive. I sold mine on eBay and bought an Edelbrock Elite cast aluminum (top) oval model with a 2" K&N filter from Summit Racing for $115. Works really well, looks classy. Plus, even with a 1/2" phenolic carb spacer on my Edelbrock Performer 4V, the top of the air cleaner is dead even height to my deck lid. You can go to a 3" or 4" if you don't mind blocking the rear view. I do not have the center portion of my engine cover. As far as the "higher" engine cover is concerned, Kirk Evans of AmeriSport Industries is the man to talk to. Email him at kre@adelphia.net. Kirk makes all kinds of cool fiberglass components for the Pantera.
