Sorry it took so long to make, I was having camera software problems.
(Proof that a Victor Jr with a Mighty Demon will fit with a drop base air cleaner under a stock C3 hood.)

Cool video but I think you lied about the control arm...they fell off didn't they?

Yup, you contested. 
I guess it was a long time ago.
And no my control arms did not fall off, Chevrolet made the Corvette, not Ford.

If you're running a roots supercharger or a tunnel ram you could glass in a bigger cowl or a scoop.
I run a Victor Jr manifold with a 4 inch air element with the filter top under my stock hood. I just use a drop base air cleaner. And I still have enough room to squeeze in a nitrous plate.

torqvette - I still find it very hard to believe that all that fits just fine. I personally have not ever had a clearance problem but I didn't have the motor height you did. I wonder how SO MANY other guys ave clearance problems with a stock motor, aftermarket intake, and a stock carb. What got yours to tuck in so nicely under a stock hood?

Mine fits too. Although I have around 10 hours into my drop base to make it flow better 
It use to look like yours
(notice the difference between the 2 pics?)

But he didn't slow down the pan so we could see if the wingnut was sticking up thru the top of the hood!
