Default Intake Manifold for 427?

I'm dropping in a 427 which has an Edelbrock intake which won't fit under the hood. Anybody have recommendations other than the stock intakes? I'm having a hard time finding a stock aluminum one and the only one I've run across so far that may fit is the Torker II. It's a single plane though, so I'm still looking. Tnx!

From Vics web site-

Torker II® Manifolds (2500 to 6500 rpm)
These single-plane, low-rise intakes work well for high-rpm, high-performance street applications. Ideal for applications where hood clearance is limited, they produce gains in top-end horsepower with adequate throttle response. Not intended for mileage or emissions applications, they are only for high-performance vehicles.

RPM or RPM air-gap rings a bell, but don't quote me. I've got more room to play with, so I didn't bother to remember the short ones...sorry.

I've had several local requests for it, so if they don't pan out I'll have it in the For Sale section here.
