The Moroso version of the L88 base doesn't have quite the drop of the L-88 base, either.  The 65927 is also an offset base which may not fit 4bbl Holley type carburetors.

One of the best looking air filter bases is made by [http://www.r2cperformance.com/cfd-4150-4-barrel-air-cleaner-bases-.aspx CFD]. It allows a lot of clearance and could be every bit as good as the GM OE drop base style bases.

This photo is the Edelbrock drop base, clearly not the Moroso 65927 offset drop base.
