Eber - Prior to my
carb replacement, I checked clearance under the hood with everything stock (manifold,
carb, air cleaner), I had about 2" total, If you're adding 2" taller, it's going to be tight unless you're putting something else into the stack-up to make it lower. I had my most issues relative to the throttle linkage and kickdown lever.
Edelbrock has lots of adapters to adjust and move things out. The caution is if you can still fit the stock air cleaner on if that's your desire. I nearly went with the
Edelbrock chrome unit for fit, but I was able to get the stock to sit down properly. I think since you're replacing the intake, you won't have to deal with the choke stove issue that I had.
Measure the stackup of your old
parts and compare to the stackup of your new
parts, including air cleaner.
Good luck and have fun.
