Default Intake Question

The engine I am planning to purchase has the following intake.
***Pro-Products #52028 Air Gap Crosswind***
Will this fit under the stock hood of my 1975 coupe or will I have clearance issues? Planning to use a Holley 750 for the carb.

The PP Air Gap Crosswind is just a cheaper version of the Edelbrock Air Gap. If the Edelbrock fits, the PP will be very similar.

Crosswind is the same height as an RPM. Solution is to use a dropbase aircleaner. I like the Moroso Low Profile Racing Aircleaner. RPM intake, 3" filter, 3/4" of hood clearance on my '75.
