Can anyone suggest at web site - with a part # - for a 2'' drop base air cleaner for 4 barrel Carter 400 cfm carburettor with a 51/8'' throat?
Thank you

MR. GASKET 4339 should work.

Per website description.

I used the mr gasket drop base on an edelbrock 500cfm with electric choke on my 4.6 rover with a Buick 215 intake manifold.  It was necessary to modify base to clear the choke body.  Everything else fits easily and about 3/4" hood clearance when closed

They also make offset drop bases.  If hood clearance is an issue, those can help by shifting the air cleaner toward the back a bit.  That also might let you use a bit less of a drop too..
