Air Clean upgrade possible??

Question

I have a stock 1994 GMC K1500 350 TBI with stock air cleaner assy, dual studs for hold down and the plastic ring with hose connection for the crankcase ventilation connection on the top of the valve cover.

Question: Is there a replacement assembly made to replace the stock closed air cleaner assy with an open sided free flowing assy, to include the top cover with two holes for the hold down wingnuts? If so, can someone post a link? This would eliminate the air box et al.

Additionally, would having an open-sided cleaner with a decent paper filter element make much of a difference in mileage and HP?

Any info and advice is apprectiated.

Thanks. Andy

unless you're willing to either drill an open air cleaner for the dual studs, or fabricate an adapter to a single stud, then the answer is no, nobody makes one. if you're willing to do either step above, any

10" or 14" flat bottomed air cleaner will work w/ a 5 1/8" neck.
