Default 1964 Intake manifold and air cleaner hood clearence

First off Happy holidays,I have a 64 with a sinking 67 stinger hood and would like to go with a small block hood.I have a 350 with a Edel. c3b intake and a 750 cfm edel.carb. I also have the brake booster and dual M/C.I have no problem with a 65 hood for brake issues instead of shimming booster moumt.Is a c3b taller than stock? Will a low set air cleaner clear (2in) ? or is there a different air cleaner that will clear or will the 14x3 edelbrock aircleaner work? It looks tall and Id hate to buy a hood that wont clear.Thanks

I have a 350 SB with a C3BX intake with a holley 4160 and a 2 in. air fliter combo and my 64 hood clearance is ok. The air filter has a dropdown base and i,ve always used a 2 in. air filter but not sure if a 3 in. would also work. Never checked. Merry Christmas Elio
