You're basically limited to the edelbrock performer vortec intake. You'll also have to use a drop base cleaner. You won't have much clearance - maybe 1/2".
By the way, what style air cleaner do you have? My stock style with snorkel over radiator already touches the hood insulation with a shorter performer intake.
Nate 76X suggested a drop base but the factory style already almost touches throtle linkage.

I have a 1981 with a Fastburn 383. I used Edelbrock Manifold # 2116 and Performer Carb # 1411. I have the factory air cleaner on the motor but I had to make some modifications to the base wear the air cleaner sits and the hood closes fine. Once your done it does look factory.
