As a matter of fact, yes. I went through this a couple of years ago. But mine is just the 2-barrel so different. I went with an after marked reproduction Air assembly.
But I believe Red has the dry filter replacement that will work in that air cleaner. Or, just do a bit of research on the diameter and height you want. A couple of the AF manufacturers have pages that give dimensions.

I have tried Wix, they don't have an element 1 1/2 inches high. Let me know if you remember where. Thanks.
When I had my 54, it had the same bat-wing air cleaner on it. I took it up to O'Reilly and we tried and found a Wix filter that fit it. Big improvement. I kept the number off the box in the glovebox but it went with the car when I sold it. It seems we had a thread on this subject and it probably has the filter number. I will try the search function and see if I can find that thread.
I didn't change anything. I just took the middle part out and put the filter between the base and the lid. It is a big filter.
Prettty sure the middle assembly is welded onto the lid. That other thread depicts a completely different base too. Sorry for the skepticism, just not seeing it.
Funny the filter part number is A442J. If it's got a 442 in it, it's got to be good!
From Australia and NZ only $81 to ship it, these crappy Mazda 121s aren't even in Rock Auto's list of vehicles. It's 8.8 inches OD probably wont work. I may just have buy a spare for 50 bucks and be good.
