I called K&N, and the part numbers on the filters were just mold numbers, but the lady was able to identify what I had.
They are round filters that have been bent and formed to fit (badly).
I got a couple part #'s of filters that are slightly larger in diameter, but 1/2" thicker, so at worst I'll have to find some longer taper headed all bolts to make the larger filters work.
I would LOVE to run the car without air cleaners, there is nothing sexier than 8 vertical velocity stacks sticking up out the top of a V8, but I'm afraid of sucking dirt and debris into the engine.
The back of the car is already shaped like a diffuser, and my AC is gone so I just have the wire mesh screen, which with the negative pressure formed by the shape of the car at speed I suspect will suck in all kinds of engine damaging debris.
