I'm installing baffles on my Superior IO-360 horizontal induction. Everything was going great until I began fitting the Van's FAB. I had already trimmed both the left and right lower floor baffles even with the lower cowl inlet. When I fit the FAB it protrudes into the lower cowl inlet. I'm not finished trimming the FAB and probably can locate the filter box 3/8" back towards the cylinders. In order to fit the FAB properly in the left floor baffle, I would have to trim the cowl inlet about 1/2" on the inboard side and slightly less on the outboard. Another solution would be to reduce the size of the FAB and filter about 3/4", however I have no idea if this is feasible. Is there a minimum filter area? I'd rather not trim the lower cowl inlet. Has anybody, been here done that? Here's a couple of pictures of the clearance issue
