Intake and Carb Advice
All,
I have a 72 with basically stock 350 270hp motor. The cam was recently changed, but I'm not sure of the specs. There is a little lobe to the cam that smooths out when the engine gets warm. I'm planning on changing the intake and carb and need some advice. I've seen all the threads and it's greek to me. I was told that the Edelbrock Air Gap manifold is the way to go with a Demon carb. Will this set up fit under my stock hood, even with buying a drop air cleaner. Any help would be appreciated. If you could give me part numbers of your setups that work that would be great.

Need Intake and Carb Advice
It looks like you guys have either LT-1, BB hoods or 1973 or later C3's. It appears from the threads that the later C3's have more clearance. I was wondering if anyone with a 1968 - 1972 C3 with the stock small block hood is running an Air Gap manifold with a Demon carb. If so, what air cleaner? Part numbers of the manifold and carb would be helpful. I definitely don't want to waste my time buying anything that won't work.
