After some research it appears this is suppose to work on many carbs including the dual feed DP.... It has full 2" of drop....

Moroso used to make an open element one that had the 2" drop, I used one on some of my street cars when I ran a carb spacer so the hood would close. lol

I have a beautiful spun aluminum aircleaner, with a beautiful reverse-velocity stack lid, with 2.5/3" drop.
It's sitting on a shelf instead of being used , cause the drop is so extreme that it won't clear throttle linkages, or fuel line connections.
Be careful what you ask for.
I'd look for the drop base with that has a designed-in clearance for cathedral bowls on a holley. Pontiac ram airs used one, so did L88 corvette, and they are being reproduced/copied.

You could use just about any drop base, and then pick the thickness of element that gives you clearance and airflow.
You can buy about any aftermarket air cleaner from Summit or Jegs and it most likely will have the drop-base for a Holley.
Or you could buy this hat, and pipe an air filter to the front of the van, to escape the heat of the dog-house.

Yeah, I have a 14 inch drop base on the (factory installed) Packard motor in my 56 Studebaker Golden Hawk, which sits kinda high in the engine compartment and the car has a low hood. Had to use a 2 inch filter to clear the hood. Still has plenty of airflow for this motor.
I use this on my Duster. It was the most drop without hitting linkage. I have a tall intake with a 1" spacer below a 750 Quickfuel Double Pumper and it works for me.

Here’s my set up 408 blue print. With 1.5” drop base 750.
Is there room if one has the Chrysler adapter on the throttle arm?
Jim, the Moroso 2" drop plate had enough room for the Mopar kick down stud on any of my A bodies and B bodies when I used to drive them on the street.

Yes I’d like to believe so. Mine is a manual trans.
