Will it work

will this work with a q jet.

This is a streetmaster 2-0
on the bottom side is a # 3240 if that matters

I was told it came off a 1969 427 it seems to be about 1/2" higher them my stock one.

On my 69 BB, if I raise the carb 1/2", the air cleaner wouldn't fit.

I have 3/4" above the air cleaner it should fit but I don't know if the rubber seal for the Cold air intake wil work But we will see.

It appears that the manifold was made to accept a Q-jet. You may have to do something to rig up a choke system (if you need one). You'll also need to decide on a gasket under the carb.

I haven't seen one of those in 30 years. They were big in the late 70's, I ran one on my SB. The perfomer is a better intake and may fit better.

If I recall the streetmaster was a mid range intake. The Performer covers more low rpm torque then the stock or SM intake.
It ran great on the 350-350 I had in my 67 coupe with 370 gears.
