Default intake question

I have a edlebrock RPM airgap intake on the car right now, but I need it to be lower so I can put on my L88 hood. My question is what would be a good replacement intake that would allow for the clearance?

here is the location of some pictures so you can see what I'm referring to.

thanks again for any help!

Personnally I would try and keep the air gap, you won't find a replacement that will have the same benifits. I would try a drop base and differant filter hight.
