On my 79' Malibu it will fit, I was using an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, 1" carb spacer, and a Holley 600 and it fit with the air filter on. Not by much though.
Couple of small block chevy questions

awesome. im running the performer rpm. not the air gap and i have a demon 650 which is essentially a holley. i think im going to smack that spacer one it. i also have a drop base air cleaner so that should help
Scoggin Dickey has the Vertec heads already set up for the added lift. If you still haven't bought an intake, they also have head kits which is: "kits include assembled Vortec heads, head gaskets, head bolts, rocker arms, intake manifold, intake gaskets,12 point intake bolts and additionl required components" Intake in these kits include your choice of Edelbrock Performer RPM or RPM Airgap intakes.
X2 on the D-dish piston. That's what I'm putting in my 383, You get the benefits of lower compression with the dish but the flat portion of the piston creates a better quench area which helps turbulance in the chamber. I'm using a KB hypereutectic with a 12cc dish and 66cc AFR 190 heads on a 4.040" bore and zero deck height. Compression ends up at about 10.04 - 1. With alum heads you need to increase compressio 1 point plus the fuel control and timing control of the EFI helps so you can add a bit of comp there, too. Some guys with a setup simular to mine are running 11-1 but I wanted to keep mine lower for the possiblity of bad gas. It is a daily driver.
