Default how far will the block stick out?

Anyone got any pictures on a 454 with high rise manifold with single carb set up? Ive been lookin at an aluminum butterfly hood scoop on ebay through big block auto and i think it would look sharp sticking out the hood but dont know how far the 454 will stick out yet. thanks ahead of time. oh ya im running a holly 780 and edelbrock high rise manifold if it matters or not ?

my 454 with an edelbrock airgap and a holley with my moroso air cleaner clears my L88 hood with about a 1/4 inch of clearance above the stud.

My 454 with the RPM AirGap, Demon carb and 3 inch K&N with the new breathable top will not clear the L88 hood. If I go to a 2" filter I'm ok.
