This or this
I think maybe the Hilborn style breather is a bit over the top, what do you think?

I'd go with this.
Seriously, the second one will promote better airflow, unless the first one is stuck outside the bodywork and you can pick up some ram effect. Bill K

Nix on the Hilborn. A scoop inlet looks dumb under a hood.

IMO, Hilborn looks cooler but somewhat disproportionate on a mild street engine. Also, both sit behind the radiator so both will ingest pretty warm air. Are there other options?

Clean engine. Stick with the open filter, but nothing would look bad on that engine.

Have you considered "that" instead?
Scoop is goofy unless comes through the hood or has a blower.

The air cleaner in the second picture is too small for best efficiency. Does the company that sells that make an element that's twice as high?

You can probably find and air cleaner at the parts store that will fit.

I dig the second one. It fits the engine look.
Hilborn style scoops belong on superchargers with dual carbs. No offense, just my .02. maybe a tunnel ram but velocity stacks look wicked on those. Yeah, I grew up in the 70's.
