The WCFB has about a 4 1/2" ring for the air cleaner mounting, and the Holley's were about 5". Since Ford only put Holley's on the T-Birds, there never was a T-Bird air cleaner that would work. The '56 Mercury air cleaner for a WCFB would be way too large for the hood. Best bet is probably an aftermarket small round low profile air cleaner for a 4 1/2" neck size.
