14x3 is the typical size. Depending upon hood clearance and base type (drop or flat), you may have to go with 14x2.

Before you spend the bucks on a K&N, consider an AMSOIL oiled foam filter. Flows like the K&N, has a lifetime warranty like the K&N, is cleanable and holds a bunch of dirt like the K&N, but filters out smaller particles than the K&N.

Just want you to make an informed decision, that's all...
