I'm gettin a big block and need to know what intake manifolds will fit under the standard 427 hood. I prefer an after market. HELP!!!!!

I do not think you can use anything but a Corvette intake. Even a stock "chevy" manifold will be too high. You also need a big block corvette air cleaner for hood clearance. I did see a manifold in the Jim Pace performance warehouse catalogue that didn't say "will not fit corvettes"like all of the others.

The Edelbrock Torker II will fit, but that's about it for aftermarket :(

Hey, talk about an opportunity! Manufacture a nice dual plane custom manifold that will fit under a big block hood. You could sell thousands for $500 each! :D

The Edelbrock Torker II and Holley Street Dominator are the only intakes that will fit under a stock BB hood. Both are open plenum.

Are you guys absolutely sure that the Torker II and the Holley Street Dominator will fit? Do you use one? The only intakes I found that would fit were the factory LS6 lowrise (ractangular port), the 68-69 tripower (rectangular and oval), and the oval port Quadrajet models. After an extensive search I couldn't find anything else.
