Default YearOne hood clearance

Sorry for another hood clearance question - trying to decide what engine to go with.

Has anyone here put the YearOne 400hp 350 in a 1980-82 Corvette?Will it fit under the stock hood? Did you use a drop-base air cleaner? And what carb did you use?

Thanks.

I know there are quite a few people here with YearOne crate engines. Doesn't anyone have one in a 1980 Vette?

I have a Edlerbrock performace package 350 with 420hp /420tq in my 78. Summit said it wouldn't fit but it does. The only thing that had to be done was machine down the underneath side of the air cleaner which a drop-base. Other than that no issues.
