Hi David,
Sorry about the late reply. My air cleaner is 17" diameter (underside it's a little wider at the top). The hole for the carby is 5".

My carb is an Edelbrock (1812) 800 CFM AVS Thunder (manual choke, which is not used).

However, my engine is a B block, so possibly a little wider in the valley than the small block 360.

As stated previously, the air cleaner is 90mm high, although the bottom is recessed, so the effective height off the top of the carb is 81mm. So 81mm higher than the flange around the top of the carb.

Unfortunately I can't say how the bonnet of the 411 compares with the 408.

Kevin
