were can i buy one of these air pans that go arounf the air cleaner and mate with the top of the hood?

 

I don't know. Several months ago, a member posted where he took an old 289 air filter thing and cut and welded to where he wound up with a thing like that one. If you can cut and weld, you might go to a junk yard and get an old air cleaner and make your own.
Or, you might want to order one for a 428 Cobra Jet.

 

Thanks

i have a few old air cleaners guess i'll have to fab one up

 

Seems to me your're missing something; there appears to be a 'hole' in that there hood that aparently feeds air into that 'dish' part of the air cleaner, and that 'dish' has a gasket on the rim to seal itself to the hood. Well?

I used a different approach, a pair of scoops mounted under the front valence that ducted air up to the air cleaner. Subtle and effective. It was a school project, design it and build it. Our graduation ceremonies were at a bar.
