The 80 cubic inch EVO engine on my Harley Davidson Soft Tail has a similar filter element, only it's almost twice as tall. If you stack three of those "closeout" filters on top of each other, they might flow enough air to avoid restricting the flow to a 235 engine. Running just one of them on a stovebolt will be the equivalent of driving with the choke closed about halfway.

Jerry,
Like Otto, I've been using similar paper air filter (Napa Gold 2373) for a couple three years now with no issues. Reading my truck's tach and with an additional shop tach attached, the RPM's are basically the same with or without the filter attached.
I hope these Rock Auto filters are anywhere near as good as my current Napa Gold.
