Default air filter question

i have a question right now i have a 4 cyl in my car.. 93 lx now i've never installed an air filter before so im not sure of this and thats why i came to you guys. Just for the example say i bought a cold air intake for my car, obviously there not on the market unless you make them from scrap but will it bolt up if i buy the cold air intake for the v8 lx 93 model?

well the reason im looking for mods.. is because i plan to make a conversion to the 5.0 so im eventually going to get the air filter kit anyway and what are the best gears for my 4 banger and how much will they cost?

well 3.73's are a good all around gear. if its going to spend most of its time on the track you can go lower. if you are going to build a 5.0 to make decent power, you may want to get a whole new axle

Forget a whole CAI for your 4 banger, just replace the filter with a K&N that will flow better. And remove the air silencer from the inlet (do 4 bangers have silencers?)
