Not to hijack the thread but how much clearance do you think you have between the air cleaner and the hood?

There wasnt much room,but I was able to squeeze my old 2 13/16 K&N filter back in,although it appears to be rubbing a little bit;

Heres a couple of pictures of how much my air cleaner cover is rubbing on the hood;

I think its rubbing on a hood rib,I might just clearance it with a hammer.

I was worried for a minute about my swap but I just realized that you dont a cowl hood so thats relieving. I doubt my 14x5" K&N will fit regardless. Its close with the small block in it now :lol:

No cowl hood,I kinda like the sleeper look :shock:
