63 Chevy II Wagon

The pics don't show it well, but the air cleaner is sitting on the valve cover. I can't lower it any more than it is. I am contemplating the K&N look, but not doing anything quite yet. I'll be away from the bench for a few days, that will give me some time to think on it. Maybe there is a small rectangular air cleaner i could get down tighter to the carb in my spares box.

How much room do you need? Would sanding it down to about 1/2 it's current height get you there?
