Only suggestion I have is check with Summit, or Jegs. Moroso or Holley should have an air filter set-up that will drop far enough to fit under you hood, for less than $40-$50 bucks.

drop-base K&N, preferrably oval shaped, would be the way to go.

I have the Performer on my car..  Just a suggestion..  What about a KN filtercharger and find a chrome lid for an 81?  I had the same prob as you..

I have an Edelbrock Performer on my '78 and used the stock air cleaner, though with a chrome lid and K&N air filter inside it. The only problem (very minor) was the carb sits back slightly more than on the stock intake and slightly touches the shroud over the distributor. No big deal and it causes no problem.

If you want a different air cleaner, get a drop base as already suggested. Holley makes an air cleaner for installations with a clearance problem, but it is pricey (over $200).
