Default BB with SB hood. Help needed.

For 75.

BB in a 350 cavity. Carb is currently toucing the underside of hood.

Edelbrock Performer 2 intake manifold and Holley street avenger carb. How do I find decent performing manifolds that are shorter? Any sites that discuss the manifold height?

Have access to drop down bases. Aftermarket scoop is an option. Any other tricks to squeeze it in?

Searched for threads involving this topic but must not have used proper keywords.

Anyone know of any relevant threads you can point me to?

Edelbrock torker 2 fits on 68-72 BB under BB hood.

I purchased a 71 with a torker 2 with holley 650 carb and it didn't fit under a BB hood correctly... I was just enough to close the hood without the air clearner and the air cleaner screw still rubbed the under side of the hood

Do you have one of these on your car that didn't rub? Or you did get an aircleaner to fit?

LS6 "Pancake" manifold and the old torker II are about the only two performance intakes that will fit.
