Thanks guys, for all your input. I am pleased with the results. I used a WIX 46241 air filter with some gasket material to seal the top.

Looks good,I was going to get a tall filter like what you used before I cut the bottom off mine and welded the top on to make it a lid for a open element air cleaner but the cost of the filter stopped me. How much did you have to pay for that filter as the two filters I was looking at were over 30 dollars,I wanted to get a more common filter that could be bought at any part store and not spend over 10 dollars.

I paid $22 at O'Reilly but may be cheaper elsewhere.
