I think you some things confused Sparky. Yes, we remove the air silencer but that isn't the air filter box. The Silencer is behind our air box and in between the fender walls. My brothers 86 T-bird 3.8L doesn't have an air box or an air silencer. Instead it has like a big tube going down in between the fender walls almost like a ram air and for the filter box it has one of them round housings in the center like a carb. engine has. So to answer any of your questions..I'm sure you could find a K&N filter to fit in your air filter element but as for the air silencer I'm not sure if you have one. I'd advise you to check by following you air tubing to the fender and looking up in between your fenders to see if there is one. If so go ahead and remove it. Hope I helped..
