K&N filters for HD8 carbs

[Digger]

I did check with K&N and was that they do not have a fit for the HD8 carbs.

I did find this on Denis Welch's site: https://www.bighealey.co.uk/category/catalogues/austin-healey/fuel/under-bonnet-3000

Hello GBPatterson, I'd say that would work it all depends what you want it to look like. Whether you want it to look something like the original style or not.

Thanks for the PM.

Best regards,

Looking for something else, I stumbled on these today from Holden.
Stamped 2" SU filter

and

Chrome 2" SU filter

I tried those many years ago,car(BJ7) ran very poorly. Also ran hot-rods on dyno w/low profile filters,caused poor drivability& loss of horse power.On some V-8's gained 30 hp just removing air cleaner assembly. cheers Genos2

Hi Geno,
Are you referring to the chrome 2"ers? They do seem restrictive in the photo now that I look at them again. When I made mine I think I came up with needing 51 square inches of filter.

I'm surprised nobody is using the "Hellings and Stellings" aftermarket air filters?

Hi Greg, yes I,m referring to 2"ers. Weiand used to make some 1/2 moon w/chrome mounting plates-washable foam elements that were very efficient. not sure if their still available. Genos2
