The drop base air cleaner came about to allow the air filter assembly to clear the Corvette hood, yet still provide enough filter element area. Several types were used throughout the years, the most drop is the base used on the L72/l78/L88/L89 Corvette BBC engine. Other bases were also dropped and were used on various SBC engines. | The drop base air cleaner came about to allow the air filter assembly to clear the Corvette hood, yet still provide enough filter element area.

Edelbrock sell a version of the 14" diameter L88 type drop base air cleaner assembly. It doesn't have quite the drop of the L-88 base. | Edelbrock sell a version of the 14" diameter L88 type drop base air cleaner assembly. It doesn't have quite the drop of the L-88 base. | ||

Designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), it allows a lot of clearance and could be every bit as good as the GM OE drop base style bases. |
